Is it true that religion is declining in many countries worldwide?
Unclear. Several sources indicate religion is declining in particular regions — Western Europe, the US, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico and other developed countries — and one paper mentions a general worldwide decline in passing. None provides a systematic worldwide measurement, so the evidence covers only part of the claim.
