I think its about 70-80% Christian in the US and Spain is over 90%.
I remember reading recently that 50% of Spanish don't believe in the Christian God, and being slightly surprised that disbelief was that high. But I'm fairly sure that no European country, even Poland, has a 90% rate of theism.
From memory, in answer to the question "Do you believe in God or a supreme being", the highest rates of "yes" answers in Europe (Poland, Ireland, Italy and Portugal) were around 65 to 70%, slightly below the U.S. at between 70 and 80%.
We were 38% yes, 34% no, and 28% don't know, with 5% regularly attending churches (mosques, synagogues, temples, stone circles, etc)
Canada and Australia beat the US in rape.
Possibly meaning that Canadian and Australian women are more likely to be confident in sympathetic treatment from the police/courts, so the report rate is higher.
There are "lies, damned lies, and statistics" as Wellington (I think) once said!
