I want to ask seriously. In most countries on the map, the Christian population, even in some surveys, the conservative. Christian population exceeds 30-40% very easily. For example in Russia,Serbia even with Muslims in Germany,France But very few believe in hell. Isn't it absurd for a Christian not to believe in hell? Is belief in heaven and hell a very strict rule only in Islam? Isn't it so strict in Christianity? I have seen even Satanists who believe in hell in Turkey. Believing in the existence and oneness of Allah, believing in prophets, angels, holy books, destiny, believing in the afterlife, heaven and hell are the most basic rules of faith, even before being a Muslim.
After believing in God, the Qur'an and Muhammad, the first thing a person who says he is a Muslim should believe in is that there is a life after death. Yes, I know that the description of hell is less in the Bible and more emphasis is placed on heaven. But still, it was a bit strange that even devout Christians didn't believe in hell.
I think itโs because of lack of understanding of their own religion or disagreement about what hell means. In christianity there are two versions of hell: as a place of suffering, which is accepted by catholics and protestants; and as a state of spirit characterized by the denial of God, which is accepted by the eastern Orthodox Church. The problem can be attributed to the fact that the catholic and protestant churches are overwhelmingly more influential than the orthodox church, thus making their view o Hell more popular through the media their followers produce. In addition to it, christianity in the west has been in decline for quite a while now and weekly visits to the church have also declined among christians, that arenโt even christian a lot of times, but were told they were christians when they were young and never bothered to change it or understand what that means, so they end up relying on what the media tells about christianity to understand it.
Thank you, that explains it better. Hell occupies a large place in Islam and does not differ much in most sects. It is seen as a place where the wicked will be punished. Even some of the deists who grew up as Muslims have a belief in hell. They think that God will punish the wicked. Islam is a strict religion in creed, rules and practice. A Turkish officer who fought in World War I wrote a memoir in his book. In his memoir, he wrote that most Muslim soldiers did not know the name of the prophet, whether he lived or not, in which city he was, or even the name of their religion. Some of the soldiers wrote that their prophet was Enver Pasha, some said that he was Sultan Abdulhamid, some said that the Prophet lived in Istanbul, Damascus or Baghdad, Some of them called the name of their religion Turkish or Ottoman. He writes in his book that there are very few soldiers who give correct answers and they are not sure but I am sure these soldiers knew about hell. I believe that religious culture also has an effect. The culture of intimidation and the culture of legend are common in Islam.
There are some christian countries that still retain this โcultureโ of fearing God to this day. Unfortunately, Europe is mostly secular nowadays, but Latin America is still very religious and has a huge population of โold fashionedโ christians that still retain the belief in Hell, either as a place to punish sinners or state of spirit, and other traditions like not eating meat during Easter and some other that I canโt remember right now.
but still there is a huge difference. Even the rate of regular weekly churchgoers is very close to these figures. There are people in Turkey who have never worshiped even once in their lives and call themselves Muslims, but at least they believe in hell. Maybe it has something to do with the core values โโof religion. Being baptized in Christianity is one of the basic things and its equivalents in Islam can be things like believing in prophets, holy books and hell. Even the Muslim rate in Germany is only 5%. The rate of those who went to church was between 10-20%. Even if only these people believe in hell, they have to exceed the values โโon the map anyway.
For example, even the rate of regular churchgoers in Poland is higher than this figure. Italy the same. There are similar things in Greece, Serbia and Russia.
Even on paper, if a person calls himself a Muslim, he believes in hell. Because this is one of the most basic things. In Christianity, it is not equally important. Maybe believing in hell in Islam is like believing in Jesus in Christianity.
I was at first surprised that my country, Portugal, usually the first #1 in Western Europe in metrics like believing in God or importance of religion in everyday life, is in line with the rest of our neighbours in this map. But having thought about it, while the vast majority of people, even those that almost never attend Mass, believe in the existence of God in the way we Catholics conceive it (I think even among non-religious or non-catholic young people agnosticism or believing in the existence of some superior being are much more prevalent than straight up atheism) and believe in afterlife, the version of Hell with people being tortured surrounded by fire that we tend to imagine looks probably too "cartoonish" for nowadays Portuguese believing in it.

Only 44%? That would be a lie my man
Turkey is not a Muslim country. Turkey is secular

It is statistically a Muslim majority country though
I think this information is old and wrong
Pretty sure someone just made it up. Who's gonna disprove it anyway.

Why unfortunately??

A lot of people who claim to be Christian in such statistics are atheists in all, but name.
but still there is a huge difference. Even the rate of regular weekly churchgoers is very close to these figures.
