 THE RELIGION OF GERMANY
Christianity is the dominant religion in
Germany while Islam is the biggest
minority religion. There are a number
more faiths, however, that together
account for the religions of around 3-4%
of the population.

 • PERCENTAGE OF THE RELIGIONS IN
GERMANY

Germany is largely a Christian country, with over 60%

identifying themselves as such, though as you’ll learn,
identifying as a Christian and being an active Christian can be
two different things.

Christianity in Germany is split roughly 50-50 between

Protestantism and Catholicism. Due to the historical
development of Christianity in the country, the South and West
are more Catholic and the North and East are more Protestant.
The exception is the former German Democratic Republic
(DDR), where there is a higher percentage of people who
identify as atheists. As a former communist country, religion
was frowned upon.

✦The German State obliged itself in its Constitution to have a “neutral” relationship with respect to religions
and worldviews. He cannot identify himself with any religious confession or with any conception of the
world.✦
