Just for fun I was wondering about the religious demographics of World Cup winning states and there is a statistical landslide in favour of Catholicism.
Catholic Champions:
• 🇧🇷 Brazil: 5 wins - The undisputed champion
• 🇮🇹 Italy: 4 wins
• 🇦🇷 Argentina: 3 wins (including the most recent in 2022)
• 🇫🇷 France: 2 wins
• 🇺🇾 Uruguay: 2 wins
• 🇪🇸 Spain: 1 win
Protestant Champions:
• 🇩🇪 Germany/West Germany: 4 wins (historically Protestant-majority, though now roughly split)
• 🏴 England: 1 win (Anglican/Protestant)
