[edit] Reliable Source?

Under the "TODAY" section, there is a claim that 99% of Spanish university students are atheists or agnostics. These seems dubious...as does the source. Apparently it was taken from the magazine "Commission" (although no specific citation is given). From what I researched, that "magazine" is published by a missionary Baptist organization, whose articles on country conditions generally end with a request for donations to help evangelize the population. This should probably be removed, unless someone has a reliable source for the 99% figure. --Anietor 06:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


Dear Anietor,

Why do you think that the comparision with The Netherlands is incorrect? Both Statistics Netherlands and "Centro de Investigaciones Sociológias" are the most reliable sources. My intention with that comment is to help to stop the topic, especially in north Europe, about the conservative Spain, which is no longer true.

Can you explain me your acction?

Best regards, Marjolijn van der Hijden.

See response in Talk:Spain, where this issue was first raised.

What about religion before Christianity/Catholicism? --Pewpewlazers 06:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
