Reformation has left its traces on Germany’s religious landscape, which still shows a distinctively regional distribution of Roman Catholics and Lutheran and Reformed Protestants. While in 1950, 94 percent of the population belonged to the two churches,1 recently, numbers have dropped rapidly, with 27 million members or about 33 percent of the population for each church.2 Ex-members largely remain unchurched. Reunification also brought a significant increase in the number of nonbelievers. Minority religions are estimated to have five million members, or about six percent, with the largest minority religion, Islam, numbering about three million members. Figures for new religions vary considerably.3 While there is disagreement concerning numbers as well as which communities count as new religions, they certainly are a fringe phenomenon. The typical size of new religions ranges from several hundred to a few thousand members
