Non-religious in Switzerland

If you asked people in Switzerland what their religion is, how many do you think would claim to be 'non-religious'? According to a survey by Swissinfo.ch (31 March 2011) it is one in four! That is massively up from only 1% who would have claimed to be non-religious in 1970 or 11% in 2000.

One in four! Wow.

So I compared that to figures in the 2011 Operation World about how many people in Nigeria consider themselves to be non-religious. In this West African nation the figure drops like a stone to 0.3%. What a massive difference.

It makes you wonder if needing to say "Give us this day our daily bread" really does help you to believe in a God that is alive and active today.
