The vast majority of Icelanders living in Iceland are "registered" asLutheran Christians, but in modern times, Icelanders are secular people with low church attendance. A recent poll shows that about 62% of Icelanders are "non-theist", but no one really does bother expressing it or "registering themselves out of the Lutheran Church".

I once asked my friend (though we were about 10) "do you believe in god?" He said: "well, yeah, but no yeah, yes no maybe, I don't know?", Which does sort of show how a large percentage of Icelanders "don't really care". "Or know", for that matter..

There is a Roman Catholic Church in Iceland, but only about 2% of the population are Catholic, and more than half of them are Eastern European immigrants. The majority of these immigrants arrived in the 21st century, and Catholics were about 1% of the population before most of these immigrants arrived.
Roman Catholicism is the largest non Lutheran religion in Iceland.
