Entry: Putin Beyond the Propaganda Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/putin_beyond_the_propoganda#17623 Post contents: Andrew Capp should refrain from posting false information on a subject he obviously knows nothing about. The percentage of Serbs who consider themselves 'believers' in the last 15 years has become somewhat of a sociological phenomenon. In every single poll conducted since the early 90's, around 90% or more answer that they are 'believers' , with only 5% atheist. There have been at least two such reports in the main weekly, NIN, in the past 7 or so years, with the conclusion that Serbia is ranked highest, with the US, in the percentage of those who believe in God. This is in stark contrast to the similar poll from 1979, when 39% of Yugoslavs answered that they are 'believers'. The percentage that attend Sunday services though must be quite low, possibly as low as 7%, or even lower. But, this is probably so, not only due to the years of Communist rule, but to the practice of attending church primarily on important religious holidays, which, again, reflect the (agri)cultural calendar.
