Belief in God varies greatly between different countries, but the percentage of believers in the former East Germany is lower than anywhere
The after effects of the communist regime in East Germany are still being felt in the former nation's houses of worship more than 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. A new study released by an American research organization found that just 13 percent of people in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) say they have always believed in God.That rate is the lowest among the 30 nations surveyed for the study, titled "Belief in God across Time and Countries." The report was released Wednesday by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago.
