Spiritual Landscape in Switzerland
Switzerland is a religiously diverse nation. Historically shaped by Christianity—particularly Roman Catholicism and the Evangelical Reformed Church—it now faces rapid secularisation. Today, around 32% of the population identifies as Roman Catholic and 21% with the Reformed Church. However, a growing segment (approximately 34% in 2022) reports no religious affiliation, although many still explore personal spirituality through meditative or holistic practices.
The country is also home to Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu communities, each contributing to the increasingly complex spiritual context.
