Seventy percent of adults in Germany said they were religious, while 18 percent of these are "deeply religious," reported the Bertelsmann Foundation in a study to be published on Tuesday, Dec. 18.

Those who characterized themselves as "deeply religious" said they regularly attend worship services, pray often and have deep religious convictions. Another 29 percent of Germans identified themselves as not religious.
