Chapter Chapter 36 in The Ethics of Bribery, Vol 2, 2025, pp 585-591 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The present chapter is part of a much larger study that examines attitudes toward tax evasion and bribery. This chapter examines attitudes toward bribery among agnostics and atheists in 78 countries. The countries are ranked to show the relative acceptance or opposition to bribery. Data were taken from the most recent wave of interviews (Wave 7) of the World Values Survey, which was conducted between 2017 and 2022 in more than 90 countries. The study found that not all agnostics and atheists think alike when it comes to the acceptability of bribery. Those in Tunisia, Finland, and Peru showed the strongest opposition to bribery, while those in Tajikistan, Malaysia, and Slovakia showed the least opposition.
