The data displays the population of the Netherlands from 2010 to 2017, by religion. It shows that the percentage of the people that does not identify with any religion continued to grow between 2010 and 2017, from 45 to 51% of the people. The biggest group in 2017 was the Roman Catholic group with 24% of the Dutch people identifying as Roman Catholic. That is particularly interesting, as the dominating church in the Netherlands since the Reformation had been the Protestant church.
