Despite what people can think of, Italy has one of the lowest percentage of "born again christians" in all Europe.
The numbers of people that say to know Jesus is very high, due to tradition, but if you scratch the surface of those who think to be Jesus's diciples you will find most of them rarely attend to any church service exept from Christmas, Easter or weddings.
They think to be saved only because the were born in a catholic family and the've been baptized as newborn babies.
