The Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics notes today that less people visit church or mosque. Among Muslims the drop is highest. While in 1998/1999 about half of the Muslim population visited a mosque once a month, the average of those visiting the mosque in 2004-2008 is a bit more than a third. Catholics follow the muslims in their drop with 3 on 10 people visiting the church once a month (1998/1999) against 2 on 10 in 2004-2008.
58 percent of the people older than 18 calls him/herself connected to a religious group (those being asked could choose between "none, Catholic, Dutch Reformed, Reformed, Protestant Church Netherlands, Islam, other"). Fifty percent of those connected to a religious group considers him/herself catholic; 19 percent some kind of protestantism. Five percent of the total population is Islamic, which is about 825 thousand people. Of which 95% has a non-western background. Most of the Muslims are Moroccans, followed by Turks.
