Based on the assessment of four criteria, Romania was ranked the most religious country out of 34 European countries in 2018. As a result, according to an overall index, 55 percent of the people surveyed were considered highly religious.
The source notes: "The index is created by combining four individual measures of religious observance - self-assessment of religion’s importance in one’s life, religious attendance, frequency of prayer, and belief in God. Respondents are assigned a score of 1 on each of the four measures on which they exhibit a high level of religious observance, a score of 0 on each of the measures on which they exhibit a medium level of religious observance, and a score of -1 on each measure on which they exhibit a low level of religious observance."
