Note on Turkey and Hong Kong: Both Turkey and Hong Kong show notable change since 2005. These changes are not from a faith to atheism but a shift from self- description of being ‘Religious’ to ‘Not Religious’.

I'm having a hard time interpreting this chart. This chart is just tracking the change in religiosity in general, but is this for people changing to be more religious, people changing religions, or people dropping religion entirely?
I think it doesnt feature entire drops of faith and religion, just changes in religions.
