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:
“July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)
