Religions: Roman Catholic 94%, other 6%The 'Other' figure there is made up of: a few thousand Jews, mostly, who left the countries of North Africa to settle in the larger urban centers like Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla and Cordoba. Spain also has some Anglicans.In a population of about 39 million, the number of non-Catholics was probably no more than 300,000. About 250,000 of these were of other Christian faiths, including several Protestant denominations, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons.The number of Jews in Spain was estimated at about 13,000.More than 19 out of every 20 Spaniards were baptized Catholics; about 60 percent of them attended Mass; about 30 percent of the baptized Catholics did so regularly, although this figure declined to about 20 percent in the larger cities. As of 1979, about 97 percent of all marriages were performed according to the Catholic religion. A 1982 report by the church claimed that 83 percent of all children born the preceding year had been baptized in the church.Roman Catholicism is the largest denomination of Christianity present in the country by far. According to a July 2009 study by the Spanish Center of Sociological Research about 73% of Spaniards self-identify as Catholics, 2% other faith, and about 22% identify with no religion. Most Spaniards do not participate regularly in religious worship. This same study shows that of the Spaniards who identify themselves as religious, 58% hardly ever or never go to mass, 17% go to mass some times a year, 9% some time per month and 15% every Sunday or multiple times per week.The total number of parish priests has shrunk from 24,300 in 1975 to 19,307 in 2005. Nuns also dropped 6.9% to 54,160 in the period 2000-2005

Spain does not have an official religion. The largest religion of Spain is Roman Catholic (94%). Others are practiced but are minorities. Almost any religion known is practiced. It just depends on the number of followers.

Ninety four percent of the population are Roman Catholic. That doesn't leave too much to call main religions out of the rest.

Roman Catholic, Islam, and Protestant are the 3 major religions in Spain. Keep in mind that the country is 94% Roman Catholic so that the other 2 religions are not too influential.
