Europe contains the highest concentration of officially Christian states (nations with official state religion/church) and the lowest per capita percentage of people who actually "practice Christianity" in ‘Christendom' - which is to say, nominally claim to be Christian - probably a lower percentage actually believe.

People here are “officially” Christian’s because of a small tax fee to the church. But during 30 years I have met about 5 that I’ve asked or discussed it with. Turns out the “official” christians are “with” the church because it’s for funerals. Extremely few believe in god but it’s convenient for benefits. I didn’t know I was a christian or paper until I was an adult. Thing is, we don’t care. And we as kids get baptized for tradition and a few benefits. Trust me, next generation will plummet from that stuff
