In the seventh cycle of surveys (2021-2022), it was found that people are more likely to consider themselves "religious", especially youth. In Tunisia, 18-29-year-olds are now 15 percentage points less likely to think of themselves as "irreligious" than three years ago.

In Iraq and Sudan, there has been little change among young people, while only Lebanon is the country where the proportion of young people who consider themselves 'non-religious' has increased significantly.
