different sources give very different percentages. in 2006, fewer than 7% attend church or mosque regularly (at least once a month). similar studies were done in 1966, 1979 and 1996, showing a steady decline of religious affiliation. that this trend is likely to continue is illustrated by the fact that in the age group under 35, 69% are non-affiliated. however, those who "are" religious tend to be more profoundly religious than in the past. religious belief is also regarded as a very personal affair, as is illustrated by the fact that 60% of self-described believers are not affiliated with any organised religion. there is a stronger stress on positive sides of belief, with hell and the concept of damnation being pushed into the background. 53% of the dutch population believe in a form of life after death, of which a third believes in some kind of heaven (with or without a god), but only 4% believe in a hell. of the entire population 10% believes in a reunion of family and loved ones, and 10% in survival of the spirit, soul or consciousness. of the people who answer positive on the question whether they believe there is life after death, 15% think of the afterlife as "living on in the memory of others". further believe 6 percent in reincarnation and 5% in a later return to earth as only in a human form. one quarter of non-believers sometimes pray, but more in a sense of meditative self-reflection. also atheism, agnosticism and christian atheism are on the rise; and are being broadly accepted. the expected rise of spirituality (ietsism) has come to a halt according to research in 2015. in 2006 40% of respondents considered themselves spiritual, in 2015 this has dropped to 31%. the number who believed in the existence of a higher power (theists and certain ietsists) fell from 36% to 28% over the same period.
