     I read somewhere that Estonia is likely to be one of the countries least affected by the credit crunch as well . Wonder if they're welcoming new immigrants ?

       What's with all the countries that gave a range instead of a number ? hedging their bets ?

    Several studies have also found Sweden to be one of the most secular countries in the world.

    According to Davie (1999), 80% of Swedes do not believe in God, wonder if thats due to their weather, or their non-committal culture?

    Prosperity.

    See all the least numbers are from the poor countries.
    I was not blessed with the ability to have blind faith. I cant beleive something just because someone says its true.

    Nothing to do with prosperity - it does not explain the top end of the list.. according to this then arab nations would be amongst the most secular nations.

    If anything then it might be a combination of education and a societies history.
