Religion in Germany (Freedom Ascendant)

Religion in Germany is dominated by the Christian faith, and to a much lesser extent, other religions.

As of the 2016 census:
 * Protestants: 85,371,558 (62.5%)
 * Catholics: 17,484,095 (12.8%)
 * Atheist: 4,234,429 (3.1%)
 * None: 10,654,370 (7.8%)
 * Other: 18,850,040 (13.8%)

Catholicism is a minority religion, with scattered adherents in Bavaria, Salzburg, Tirol, Carinthia, and Rhineland, in no state forming any kind of majority. This is an after-effect of the Protestant Reformation, where the Counter-Reformation failed to gain any traction in Bavaria, the Rhenish provinces, Hungary, Czechia, Poland, or even Austria, leaving Catholicism as mainly a Romance-language religion.
