Around the
With One Question
Paradise, here we come. A majority of people in all but one of 16 countries (the French split 50/50 between believers and non-believers) surveyed agree on our final destination. Which countries have the most believers? More than 90% of the respondents in Malaysia, the Philippines, and the United States said they believe in heaven. Does such a unified belief in an afterlife mean we're all devout? Seems not. In another survey, many of the same countries shared very different opinions on how important religion is to them. In India, 92 percent said it's very important; in Russia, only 14 percent said so.
