Conversion & deconversion statistics
USA
The UoC study found that in the USA there had been a slight increase in belief, with a gap between conversions and deconversions of +1.4%. This goes against other studies, for example, a Pew Forum study found 11% of people have left their religion at some time in their lives and only 4% have moved from unbelief to belief, a ‘gap’ of -7%.
Europe
The UoC study found that in 15 out of 23 European countries the percentage of the population who have stopped believing in God at some time in their life typically exceeded the percentage of population who have started believing by about 5-10% of the total population. Some examples of the gap: Netherlands -14%, Spain -12.4%, France -11.3%, Norway -11%, Great Britain -10.1%, Sweden -5.5%.
In the remaining 8 European countries, conversions to belief in God were greater than to non-belief. Some examples: Russia +16%, Latvia +11.9%, Slovenia +8.5%, Portugal +0.6%.
Australia and New Zealand
UoC gives deconversion-conversion rates of -12% for Australia and -4% for New Zealand. This Australian figure is more or less confirmed by data in Wikipedia and a recent survey by McCrindle Research, which showed 29% of Australians had stopped being religious and only 4% had taken up belief, a massive gap of -25%. The research shows again that disbelief tends to be a result of bad behaviour by christians rather than a questions of truth.
The rest of the world
The UoC figures are sparse for the rest of the world, but show small variations from more conversions in Israel (+2.6%) and Philippines (+0.8%) to more deconversions in Japan (-1.5%).
Eto, ljudi se konvertuju i dekonvertuju sirom planete i to u pozamasnim brojkama, sasvim suprotno teoriji o iluziji imanja izbora.
