What is the religon of Spain?

Answer 1

Spain is 94% Roman Catholic.

Historic Muslim Past (Currently Irrelevant)

Spain was ruled by Muslims for over 700 years (711-1492), but even then the Catholics were a majority. After the fall of the Nazari Kingdom of Granada, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand deported all Jews and Muslims in 1493. The Spanish Inquisition spent another 100 years rooting out the remainder. Therefore, the 700 years of Muslim occupation has no bearing on the current religious numbers.

Discussion of Minority Religions or Beliefs

There is a growing Muslim minority in Spain on account of the recent Immigration from Morocco and Africa in general. Also a number of Spaniards may come from Roman Catholic families, but are actually Atheist or Agnostic.

The comment indicating a growing Muslim minority is refuted by the Spanish government.

The 94% number cited is from the CIA WORLD FACTBOOK.

I can find no articles addressing Spanish Agnostics or Atheists and providing data that is verifiable. I can only view that comment as speculation, not fact.

[Not true, see the discussion section.]

According to the Spanish Government the number of illegal immigrants of all religions, from any area, is dropping at a rate that far exceeds the rate at which new illegals arrive.

In 2011, 5,443 illegals arrived in Spain and 3,632 illegals arrived in 2010. However, Spain deported 30,792 illegals in 2011 and deported 30,163 in 2010. These statistics from the Spanish government, Ministry of the Interior indicate that the net change was a drop of 25349 (30,792-5,443) in 2011 and a drop of 26,531 (30,163-3,632) in 2010.
