Is there any verifiable correlation between
the level of development of countries and the
religiosity of their population?

There are studies and analyses that


suggest that there may be a
correlation between a country's level
of development and the religiosity of
its population, although this relationship
is complex and subject to several
variables. In many cases, as countries However, there are exceptions, and

nations.
What are the correlations between the
countries with the highest number of people
who declare themselves to be religious?

The level of religiosity of the population interferes with the political life of countries.
Religion allows for a greater understanding of the values that surround a given society,
especially its ethical values. However, at the same time as it represents the faith of the
population, it can also be a reason for religious intolerance if unified with politics.
In Peru, the religion with the highest percentage is Catholicism (76%), while the country's
president, Dina Boluarte, is also Catholic.

In Turkey, the religion with the highest percentage is Islam (83%), while the country's
president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, also practices Islam.
Turkey's legal system protects freedom of religion, but the reality of Christians in the
country does not demonstrate this principle. Religious nationalism is very strong and puts
Christians under great pressure.
Christians are not considered full members of society. They have limited access to
government jobs and face discrimination in private companies, especially in government-
subsidized companies. People's religious affiliation remains displayed on their identity card,
which makes it easier to discriminate against Christians when looking for work. In recent
years, the government has banned foreign Christians married to Turkish women and with
children from staying in the country as residents.

What
society
believe in?

3% believe in God as described in holy scriptures. 16% believe in


a higher power or spirit but not in God as described in holy
scriptures. 10% prefer not say. 34% are not sure and 38% I do
not believe in God or in a higher power or spirit of any kind. In
Japan 28% believes in heaven, 35% of them believe in
supernatural spirits and 25% believe in the Hell.
Are countries with more people who declare
themselves religious necessarily more tolerant of
religious diversity?
Religious tolerance is a practice that guarantees one of man's fundamental rights, freedom of belief.
Discriminating against someone for thinking or acting in accordance with their religious beliefs, publicly
offending images and other objects of religious worship are all violations of this right.
In a survey carried out in 26 countries, we can consider that 40% believe in God as described in the
sacred scriptures, 20% believe in a higher spirit and another 40% do not believe in God or any higher
spirit. In addition, there is a great variety in the number of Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, Muslim and
Hindu believers in various places. In other words, we have great religious diversity in our society.
The feeling of comfort in being around people of different religious beliefs covers 76% of those
surveyed. Almost half (47%) say that religion does more harm than good in the world. These figures are
significant for the times in which we live. With them, we can prove that there are probably people who
claim to be religious, but are not tolerant of religious diversity.
The struggle to make the world we live in a more harmonious environment must be valued. We need to
defend individual rights, promote access to information, with knowledge, discussions and debates, and
fight for public policies that encourage tolerance and freedom.
About japan...
The relationship between politics and religion is remarkably distinct
compared to many other countries. The country has a rich
religious heritage, with Shintoism and Buddhism playing prominent
roles. Many Japanese follow both religions in a syncretic way,
incorporating elements of both into their spiritual practices.

In the meantime,
It's important to note that, for most Japanese, religion plays more of
a cultural and ceremonial role than an active spiritual one. Religious
rituals, such as visiting temples and shrines, are deeply rooted in
Japanese culture and are performed on various occasions
throughout life.
What's more Politically speaking,
a significant portion of the Japanese Japan adopts a strictly secular
