In order of nominal Catholic population, with percentages of Catholics given in brackets, post-Catholic Europe includes: Italy (98%), France (90%), Spain (94%), Portugal (94%), Belgium (75%), Austria (74%), Ireland (92%), Luxembourg (90%), with large minorities in Germany (34%), Holland (31%) and elsewhere, and now Poland (95%), Hungary (68%), the Czech Republic (40%), Slovakia (60%), Slovenia (71%), Lithuania (80 %) and Malta (99%). Of the 450 million inhabitants of the new EU nearly two-thirds, some 280 million, are nominal Catholics.
In order of nominal Protestant population, with percentages of Protestants given in brackets, post-Protestant Europe includes: the UK (70%?), Sweden (87%), Denmark (91%), Finland (89%), with large minorities in Germany (38%), Holland (21%), and now Latvia and Estonia. Two more radically Lutheran majority countries have refused to join the EU: these are Norway (86%) and Iceland (93%) (Greenland long ago left on receiving independence from Denmark). In the case of Switzerland, although its population numbers conservative Catholics (46%) and Calvinists and Lutherans (40%), it too has rejected membership of the EU.

Other than England and the Anglican Church, there are no state churches in Europe although the Catholic Church absolutely dominates Italy. All other countries have their fair share of Catholic and Protestant churches.

Majority of those countries in the northern part of Europe belong to Protestantism, the rest of the south majority of which belong to the Roman Catholic faith.
