Religions in Europe
1. Christianity - Christianity is the dominant religion in Europe, with the majority of Europeans identifying as Christians. The two main branches of Christianity in Europe are Catholicism and Protestantism, but there are also smaller Christian denominations such as Eastern Orthodox and Anglicanism.
2. Islam - Islam is the second largest religion in Europe, primarily due to immigration from Muslim-majority countries in North Africa and the Middle East. Muslims make up a significant minority in countries such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
3. Judaism - Judaism has a long history in Europe, particularly in countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. However, due to historical persecution and the Holocaust, the Jewish population in Europe is smaller than it once was.
4. Hinduism and Buddhism - Hinduism and Buddhism have small but growing populations in Europe, primarily due to immigration from South Asia and East Asia. Countries such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have significant Hindu and Buddhist communities.
5. Other religions - Europe is also home to smaller religious communities such as Sikhism, Jainism, Bahá'í Faith, and various pagan and New Age spiritual movements. These religions have varying levels of adherence and influence in different European countries.
