10 Countries Prove That Religious Societies Are Not Happy

Why do you want to create a religious generation? This desire can be observed from research done in recent years when the society is not for happiness. Compared to the two researches in 2013, it is possible to observe that the happiest countries of the world are from the least pious societies of their societies. Here are the 10 happiest countries in the world in 2013 and their religiosity rates:

Australia

Only 37% of the population in Australia says they are religious. Although 47% of Australians say they have religious beliefs, they say that religion has no place in their lives. The country has been identified as the 10th happiest country in the world in the World Happiness Report published by the UN last year.

Iceland

Iceland, a turbulent religious past, is the 9th happiest country in the world according to the World Happiness Report. 10% of Iceland's population say that 31% of atheists are not religious, although they are believed.

Austria

In the World Happiness Report, Austria, who took the 8th place, said that 47% of the population is religious and 13% of the atheists are religious.

Finland

In the United Nations report, 22.1% of Finland's 7th most populous country is made up of atheists and agnostics.

Canada

Canada, the sixth happiest country in the world in 2013, found that 23.9% of the population was atheistic or agnostic in a survey conducted in 2011.

Sweden

Sweden is well known for its high suicide rates, but in the UN report in 2013, the 5th most happiest country in the world came out. According to the results of a survey conducted in Sweden two years ago, 43% of Swedes are either agnostic or atheist.

Holland

It is not surprising that the 4th most happiest country in the world is the Netherlands. Citizens who claim to be religious in the Netherlands account for 43% of the population.

Swiss

One of the evidence that happiness is not about religion but about social and economic development is Switzerland's 3rd place in the World Happiness Report of 2013. In a survey conducted in 2012, 21.4% of the Swiss population, consisting of multilingual, multi-religious and very different ethnic minorities, stated that they did not belong to any religion.

Norway

There is not much we can associate with Norwegians beyond fishermen, Neutregena and Black Metal, but we know that Norway is the happiest country in the world, thanks to the World Happiness Report. At the same time, a study conducted last year revealed that 13% of the population was not a member of any religion.

Denmark

It was a case brought forward in the days when the happiness of the Danish could be genetic. According to a 2010 survey in Denmark, which is described as the happiest country in the world in the UN report, 24% of the population is not a creator.
