Irreligion in Azerbaijan

[2] In a study conducted by the Caucasus Research Resource Centers, in 2010, 2,001 people were interviewed, of which 28% answered that religion is "a highly important" part of their life.

[2] Out of that combined 77%, 2% of them attend religious services every day, 3% once a week or more and twenty percent fast, but rarely.

According to a recent 2013 Gallup Poll, Azerbaijan is one of the most Secular countries in the Muslim world, with about 53% of respondents indicating the importance of religion in their life as little or none.

[7] In 2012, as part of the World Value Survey, there was conducted a comparative analysis of countries on the importance of religion in people's lives.

[11][12][13] According to Crabtree, Pelham (2009), Azerbaijan is in the list of 11 least religious countries in the world with only 21% people saying that religion is an important part of their life.

Since in the USSR atheism was an important part of the state ideology, Azerbaijan was also subjected to the influence of the authorities in relation to religion.
