Berlin, Germany
Population: 84 million
Urbanization: 78%
Religion: More than a quarter of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, while about another quarter is Protestant (mostly Lutheran). Historically, entire towns and regions belonged to one faith, according to the local ruler's choice. These divisions are still visible today, as Catholics reside mostly in the south and west and Protestants in the north and east.

Today, a number of other Christian denominations are also active, and 4 percent of German residents are Muslim. Although most Germans are Christian, society is highly secular, and about 41 percent of the people claim no religious affiliation.

r The bulk of the population (around 62 percent) belongs to the state church, in part because infants of Lutheran mothers are automatically enrolled as church members upon birth (although they can officially opt out later on). Despite the existence of a state-sponsored church, religious freedom is fully guaranteed, and other Protestants (roughly 6 percent), Roman Catholics (about 4 percent), and other religions have congregations in Iceland. About 8 percent of the population has no religious affiliation.

R About half of the French population is Christian, primarily Roman Catholic. Most French Catholics celebrate the various religious holidays and attend Mass once or twice a year. While some still have religious weddings and baptisms for their children, most French do not have strong religious beliefs, so these ceremonies have become mostly social rites. Active worship is increasingly rare among French Catholics, as is the practice of visiting shrines and other places of devotion. Islam is the second largest religion in France. A small number of people are Protestant, Jewish, or Buddhist. About one-third of the population claims no religion.
