Religious ‘Nones’ Outnumber Catholics and Protestants in Germany

More Germans identify as religiously unaffiliated than as Roman Catholics or Protestants, marking the first time in modern German history. This finding comes from a new survey published by the Weltanschauungen research group (Fowid) and reported by Evangelical Focus. The 2024 data indicates that 47% of Germany’s population—approximately 39 million people—consider themselves to have no religious affiliation.
