The “2025 Spain Report” worked out by the “José María Martín Patino” Chair of Comillas Pontifical University was presented in Madrid this week. In the document, the Jesuit University outlines a portrait of today’s Spain, ranging from “young people’s existential precariousness to the demographic challenge and immigration, through to the secularisation of society”, as posted on the web page of the academic organisation. The survey found that Spain is experiencing its “third wave of secularisation since the early XX century”, marked by a distancing from Catholicity and a rise in religious pluralism. The main findings of the survey include the increase in the number of “nonbelieving” people: the percentage of people stating they are “without religion” has tripled in two decades, from 13.2% in 2000 to 40% in 2024, with peaks of 60% among young people. The Spanish civil society’s trust in the Catholic Church has decreased by nearly 10 percent points from 1999 to 2017, from 41.76% to 32.89%. According to the survey, practising Catholics are currently steadily set at 15-20%, while religious weddings are plummeting: from 76% in 2000 to 19% in 2022. At the same time, religious pluralism is increasing: minorities already account for 10% of the population, with 2.2 million Muslims and 1.5 million Protestant and Orthodox Christians.
