    AfD Gains 30% Support Among Non-Religious Voters, Lower Among Catholics

    A recent Insa survey indicates that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party garners 30% support among non-religious voters, while support among Catholics and Protestants is approximately 26% and 27%, respectively.

    The survey, conducted from May 11 to 15 with 1,203 participants, reveals that the AfD’s appeal is notably higher among the general population, where it stands at 29%. This data emerges alongside the 104th German Catholic Day in Würzburg, where the Catholic Church reiterated its stance against the AfD, labeling it as incompatible with Christian values. The church has approximately 19.2 million members, representing 23% of Germany’s population. Concurrently, AfD politician Malte Kaufmann reported a meeting with Pope Leo XIV, emphasizing the party’s commitment to family and Christian values.
