swissinfo and Switzerland's Changing Religious Landscape

BERN, Switzerland, September 28 /PRNewswire/ --     swissinfo/Swiss Radio International (SRI) takes a closer look at
Switzerland's changing religious landscape. Starting today, a special dossier
in English can be accessed at
http://www.swissinfo.org/eng/religion_in_switzerland/index.html?siteSect=22080
, providing a snapshot of faith in Switzerland in the 21st century.

Fewer and fewer people adhere to organised religion in the western world.
Switzerland is no exception, with a rising number claiming to have no
religious affiliation. But although church attendance is falling, religion
has become a factor ahead of the federal elections, especially with an
increasingly large and more visible Muslim population. swissinfo's special
dossier shows how the churches are adapting to changes in Swiss society.

swissinfo/Swiss Radio International (SRI) is one of the
enterprise units of SRG SSR idée suisse, Switzerland's public-service radio
and television broadcaster. Its remit is to inform Swiss people abroad of
what is going on at home, and to raise awareness about Switzerland beyond its
borders. In doing so, swissinfo/SRI operates a news and information platform
in nine languages at http://www.swissinfo.org/.
