Believers shun church and mosque

The Netherlands has nine million people who say they are religious, but only 20% regularly go to church, mosque or other house of worship, according to new figures from the national statistics office CBS.


Some 27% of Muslims claim to visit a mosque once a week, but only 7% of Catholics attend weekly mass.
