Austrian Catholic Church Exits Drop 6.4% in 2025, Membership Share Falls to 48.7%

Church exits in Austria fell to 66,930 in 2025, a 6.4% decline from 2024, returning to pre-pandemic levels. Despite the drop, the Catholic share of the population continues to decline, from 49.6% to 48.7%, with slight financial relief noted. This reflects ongoing secularization trends with limited immediate market impact.
