Young Spaniards increasingly identify as Catholic, reversing decades of secularising trends, in findings which mark a dramatic rise in recent years. A large majority are also disillusioned with democracy, according to a major national youth survey released on April 28. The report also comes amid wider signs of renewed religious interest among younger generations in parts of Western Europe, including record adult baptisms in France. By contrast, similar claims of sharply increased Christian engagement among Generation Z in the United Kingdom have recently been disputed after flaws were found in a much-cited survey.
