ure 40). Half of all non-Muslim interviewees who belong to a
religious community state that they attend religious events
up to once a month (49 per cent). Similarly to among Muslims,
the share of those who attend worship several times a month
or more frequently stands at around one third (32 per cent; not
shown). In conclusion it is to be stated that no significant differences
are apparent between the Muslim and the non-Muslim
group with regard to the average frequency of attendance of
religious events. 59
