  • Sweden was pagan before the 11th century, when the country underwent Christianization. Since the Protestant Reformation in the 1530s, the country is Lutheran, with the Church of Sweden being allowed the status of state church until 2000. As of 2008, 72.9% of the Swedes were members of the church, a drop of 1.4 % compared to 2007. Less than 4 percent of the Church of Sweden membership attends public worship during an average week; about 2 percent are regular attenders. Numerous other religious groups are represented in the Swedish society. The history of the Jews in Sweden can be traced back to the seventeenth century. Due to immigration, there is also a significant number of Swedish Muslims, as well as Syriac Christians. Immigration, most notably from Poland and former Yugoslavia, is also the reason behind the fast growth of the Catholic Church in Sweden.
  • A Suécia era pagã até século XI, quando foi cristianizada. A partir da Reforma, na década de 1530, o país tornou-se luterano, sendo que a Igreja da Suécia tinha o status de religião de estado até 2000. Em 2007, 74.3% dos suecos eram membros da igreja - o que significou uma queda de 1,3% em relação a 2006. Menos de 4% dos membros da Igreja da Suécia frequentam os cultos semanalmente; cerca de 2% frequentam regularmente. Muitos outros grupos religiosos estão representados na sociedade sueca. A historia dos judeus na Suécia pode ser traçada desde o século XVII. Em decorrência da imigração, há também um número significativo de muçulmanos e de cristãos siríacos. A imigração, sobretudo originária da polonesa e da antiga Iugoslávia, motivou o rápido crescimento da Igreja Católica Romana no país.
