In a recent Greenfield Online/Ciao Surveys census representative omnibus survey, over 1,000 respondents from India were asked about their religious beliefs and frequency of attending their place of worship.

Of the 86% who attend a place of worship, the chart below shows the regularity of attendance:

Everyday	13%
1-2 times a week	36%
3-4 times a week	10%
Twice a month	13%
Once a month	16%
Only on holidays	12%

Surprisingly, 53% of Indian respondents stated they do not feel it is necessary to attend their place of worship to be religious. Of those who felt they didn’t need to go to a certain place to be religious, 47% were male and 59% were female.

The chart below highlights the statistics.
