An increasing number of young boys and girls in Finland believe in God. A study conducted among young people in confirmation preparation shows that a growing number of girls report believing in the existence of God. The prevalence of belief in God began to grow among boys already in 2021, and in 2024, the same phenomenon could be seen among girls as well. In 2024, 62% of boys and 50% of girls reported believing in the existence of God.
