Despite the city's population growth, church membership is consistently dropping. In 2023, Berlin was home to 3.88 million residents, including around 469,000 Protestants (12%) and 273,500 Catholics (7%).

Experts attribute this decline to changing demographics and the diminishing role of religion in people's lives. The influx of immigrants, a major factor in Berlin's expansion, frequently hail from non-Christian countries.
