Its not what I mean. Even those who say they believe, are only in the theory. Meaning, they don't attend church, not even on Easter (or maybe only then ) do not feast, do not follow the rules, so how are very religious? By making the cross sign when they are passing a church on the street?
You can find really religious people, the elders.

Malta and Ireland are conservative as far as abortion goes. They are the only 2 countries in Europe where abortion is restricted and can only be performed to save the life of the woman. Poland only allows abortion to save a woman's life or protect her physical health. I think most countries in Europe have legal divorce now but the lowest crude divorce rate in 2012 was recorded in Ireland (0.6 divorces per 1 000 inhabitants). Italy (0.9 divorces per 1 000 inhabitants, 2011 data), Malta (1.1), Greece (1.2, 2010 data), Slovenia (1.2) and Croatia (1.3) also recorded relatively low crude divorce rates.

Anyway, in my language there are two different words for someone who believes and someone who is religious. In English, I apply both meanings to "religious".
I believe in God but I am not religious. Raised and baptised as Orthodox Christian in the sense of that I accept Jesus's teachings as truth but I go to church only on big holidays - Easter, Christmas and a few namedays, and I lead a secular life. About half or slightly more than half of people I know are like me, the majority of the rest are atheists. A minority are really religious who go to church every or almost every Sunday, feast and so.

Italy TBH. Some Central European countries as well. I'm only talking about Western nations.
