Not surprising to see Czech republic in being the most atheistic country in Europe. I find it ironic in seeing Turkey in being more atheistic than their neighbors in the Balkans. It's a good start.

It's rising among the youth. Most of the young people I talk to do not give a fuck about religion.

Well; it's basically because people are irritated by how the government is exploiting the religion. They are serving the Atheist cause more than Richard Dawkins.

It's a good thing really.

Hungary's 21% cannot be real. It's a lot more than that. According to 2011 census around 45% said they don't belong to any religion, or simply didn't answer the question. We can only imagine the number got even bigger since then.

This map is a good way to draw the boundary between western and eastern Europe.
Countries are secularized in the west, and religious in the east, with a few notable exceptions.
(Note that the concept of East Europe is not derogatory and does not mean at all that its inhabitants are primitive and unsophisticated).

The map seems to confirm that the Czech Republic belongs to the western clan and that Estonia is unambiguously a Nordic country.

Turkish atheists are not evenly distributed. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I think almost all the atheists are to be found in the big cities. The Black Sea area, Central and Eastern Anatolia are still overtly religious.

I've never been to the eastern parts but judging by the behaviors of the young population on the Internet; way more than the half are irreligious and I'm sure not all of them live in big cities.

For example the most popular Turkish social website where young people are filled with irreligious people. They criticize Islam on every occasion.

Actually; there has been a discussion within the conservative media that irreligion and kemalism are on the rise in Turkey.

Right. Most of my friends are not religious. Only 1 out of my top 10 closest friends go to church regularly, most of them rarely or not at all.
