| History of Slovenia |
The religious views of the people of Slovenia have been surveyed twice in the 1990s using different methods. According to the 1992 Slovene Public Opinion Survey, only 20% of adult Slovenes believed in a "personal God" (a further 39% said they believed in "God as an ethereal spirit" or "God as a life force").
In 1997: 24% of the Slovene population believed in the existence of God without any doubts; 29% of adult citizens believed in "the Resurrection"; 37.5% of Slovenes believed in Heaven and 24% in Hell.
About half of the respondents (51%) stated that they are religious in their own personal way.
Only 18% claimed that they are religious in accordance with Church doctrine. An analysis of the results of the international survey known as "Aufbruch der Kirchen" suggests similar conclusions.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“Men are like plants; the goodness and flavor of the fruit proceeds from the peculiar soil and exposition in which they grow. We are nothing but what we derive from the air we breathe, the climate we inhabit, the government we obey, the system of religion we profess, and the nature of our employment.”
—Michel Guillaume Jean De Crevecoeur (1735–1813)
