Free evangelicalism has remained at a similar level over the last 13 years in Switzerland, defying a sharp decline in mainstream Protestant evangelicalism and Catholicism, new data shows.
New statistics released by the Federal Statistics Office in Switzerland show that while only one in every five people in the central European nation identified with the Protestant Swiss Evangelical Church (SEK) in 2023, decreasing to 19% from 34% in 2000, the number of free evangelicals remained at 5%.
The data also revealed that the number of people who declared themselves as belonging to no religion is now the largest in the country at 36%, which represents a staggering increase from a miniscule 1% in 1970, and only 11.4% in 2000.
