    Why does the country of Italy not show up on the list of European countries.

  2. So, is that the divorce rate for the total population, or for the married population? If the former, is it possible to compare to marriage rate for a more accurate picture of how many divorces there are?

    Also, why is there no chart for the americas?

    Kazakhstan is not a Muslim country. Who the heck counted it as a an Islamic country? It’s multi-confectional society, former Soviet colony and isn’t much different than Russia.

    • red monkey says:

      More than 70% of Kazakh people are Muslims and this rate growing fast because of Russian ethnic coming back to Russia.

  4. Mark Tokar says:

    Divorce is coherent with religion or certain beliefs. If 2 persons share love for eachother and have a goal of becoming one, you will strive for that goal. if God or spirituality is absent in a marriage, you will end up with 2 flames who will fade, because of different interpretation of reality and lack of love.
