19:03Now PlayingIn a world where religious adherence seems to be waning, an intriguing resurgence in religiosity among the youth in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has been highlighted by the Arab Barometer, a reputed non-profit research network known for its comprehensive surveys on societal trends in the Arab world. According to its seventh wave of surveys conducted between 2021 and 2022, a striking majority of the citizens in the MENA region self-identify as “religious” or “somewhat religious.” Notably, in countries like Tunisia and Libya, there has been a decline in the number of people describing themselves as "not religious" from earlier surveys – from 31% to 27% in Tunisia, and from 25% to 24% in Libya between 2018-2019 and 2021-2022. However, Lebanon stands out as an exception, where those claiming non-religiosity increased from 14% to 19%. Additionally, engaging in religious practices has seen an uptick, with a considerable percentage of young people turning to holy texts daily. This ‘Spiritual U-Turn’ offers a stark contrast to the secularization trend in regions like Europe and North America and reflects the dynamic nature of religious beliefs in the Arab world.
