This text deals with religion in Germany that is to say how people live with religion and furthermore if they live with religion.
It is obvious that religiousness is not as present as years ago. If one speaks to older people you can get easily to know that for those people religiousness is far more important than for most of the younger generations. And even if younger people believe in God most of them do not go to church regularly.
In the following there is a statistic which shows how many people would consider themselves as religious people (source: statista.org)
From my own experience I know many people who believe in God and got to church. But nobody can deny that for most people of the younger generations it is not important to visit church every week. In most cases it is limited to the first communion or the confirmation. These are days where most of the baptized children still go to church.
In Germany it is obvious that most of the families do not hold on religious traditions so that children could not learn from their parents anything about religious life. Although relious education is still anchored in the fundamental law many pupils decide that they do not want to take part in it. All in all one can say that the religiousness goes down in Germany.
