From Mumbai to Madrid, where you live likely influences how much you pray. Or so shows our latest global survey, which reveals significantly more devotion in parts East than West. At least 66 percent of people in Malaysia, the Philippines, and India say they pray every day. It's the opposite in Europe: 65 percent of respondents in the Czech Republic never do, followed by those in the Netherlands, France, Spain, and the U.K. The trend stops across the Atlantic, where 55 percent of Americans pray daily.
