Nigeria has earned the distinction of being the second most prayerful nation globally, as per data from the Pew Research Centre. Afghanistan secured the top spot with an impressive 96 percent prayer rate.
The Pew Research Centre, a non-partisan American think-tank headquartered in Washington, D.C., conducted this research, shedding light on the prayer habits of different countries.
It’s worth noting that a previous study by the Pew Research Centre in 2019, which encompassed surveys conducted between 2008 and 2017, also crowned Nigeria as the world’s most devout nation.
In stark contrast, countries like China (1%), the United Kingdom (6%), Switzerland (8%), Austria (8%), Czechoslovakia (9%), Germany (9%), Estonia (9%), France (10%), and Denmark (10%) recorded significantly lower prayer rates, branding them as among the least prayerful nations globally.
The result of recent survey of most prayerful countries is listed below:
1. Afghanistan: 96%
2. Nigeria: 95%
3. Algeria: 88%
4. Senegal: 88%
5. Djibouti: 87%
6. Iran: 87%
7. Iraq: 87%
