The Wikipedia article on religion in Cyprus, citing the Statistical Service of the Republic of Cyprus's 2011 and 2021 censuses of the government controlled area: 89.08 percent of inhabitants Orthodox Christian in 2011, falling to 74.5 percent in 2021, a change the article attributes largely to a sharp rise in respondents leaving the religion question unanswered, 17.3 percent in 2021 against 1.1 percent in 2011, rather than to an equivalent real decline in Orthodox identification.
