This statistic displays the reasons to leave a religion in the Netherlands in 2017. When respondents in the Netherlands who were raised within a religion were asked why they left it, roughly 70 percent of the participants stated that they had gradually drifted away from religion. No longer believing in the religion's teachings was cited by 60 percent of the respondents. In contrast, only 14 percent said to have left their religion to marry someone from outside their own religion.
