Religious Preferences
Liesing has one of the highest population shares of people with Roman Catholic faith, 55.2%, compared with Vienna overall at 49.2%, due to a very low foreign share. Eleven Catholic Parishes form the town Deconate 23 in the municipality. On the other hand, the proportions of people with Islamic faith with 3.2%, and of Orthodox faith, with 2.5%, are both below the average (Vienna city-wide: 7.8% or 6%). The proportion of the Evangelical people was 6.7% of the district population, the second highest in Vienna. Nearly 27.3% of the district population, in 2001, belonged to no religion, where this was the 3rd highest value of a Vienna district. Another 5.1% of the population had expressed either none or some other religion.
