Statistics
31% of Romanians placed "Belief" among maximum 4 answers to the question "Among the following values, which one is most important in relation to your idea of happiness?". It is the highest number, followed by Turkey with 19% and Cyprus with 17%. The mean in "Europe 27" was 9%. There is evidence of some discrepancies between various statistics and polls. For instance, in 2011 49% of Bucharesters declared that they only go to church on social occasions (weddings, Easter etc.) or not at all, a figure that contrasts national census data, according to which 98.4% are believers.

Famous quotes containing the word statistics:
“Maybe a nation that consumes as much booze and dope as we do and has our kind of divorce statistics should pipe down about “character issues.” Either that or just go ahead and determine the presidency with three-legged races and pie-eating contests. It would make better TV.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“We ask for no statistics of the killed,
For nothing political impinges on
This single casualty, or all those gone,
Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts—for support rather than illumination.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
