Yes, there were many religions in medieval Europe.
At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the area of the Roman Empire was largely Christian, and the areas to the north were nearly all pagan. The Christians gradually converted the pagans, but this was not a quick process, and continued through most of the Middle Ages. The pagans were of many different types, and there were many different religions among them
Christianity was not uniform, and there were many branches of it. The Catholic Church was the official Roman religion, but there were many others, including the Coptic Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, Celtic Church, and others. Some of these were absorbed into the Catholic Church, and others continue today. The Catholic Church split into Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches in 1054. Other Christian churches, such as the Cathars, arose, though they were considered heretical.
Islam arose in the 7th century beginning in Arabia. It spread, mainly by conquest, to all of North Africa, Palestine, Asia Minor, Spain, and even parts of Italy, all of which were parts of the Roman Empire at one time. It also spread to other parts of the world, in Asia and Africa. In Europe, it was primarily important in Spain, from 711 to the end of the Middle Ages, and in the Balkans, where it remains as an important religion today.

Christianity was the dominant religion in Europe during the middle ages, but was certainly not the only religion practiced in Europe, nor was Christianity a homogeneous body during the period. Christianity divided into the Western and Eastern Churches in the schism of 1054. There were also Muslims, Jews, and Pagans in Europe during the middle ages. Muslims had conquered the Iberian peninsula during the early 8th century and were not fully expelled by Christians until the end of the 15th century. Parts of Northern and Eastern Europe remained pagan until the 13th century. There were Jewish populations at various locations all throughout the middle ages as well, although they were always minority groups living within other societies.

AnswerMostly Islam.
During the Iron Age, people followed a variety of religions depending on the region. In Europe, Celtic and Germanic paganism were common, while in the Middle East, religions such as Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and various polytheistic beliefs were prevalent. In India, people practiced different forms of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
There are several religions practiced in the Middle East, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and various sects and denominations within these major religions. The exact number of religions can vary depending on how they are categorized and counted.
Shintoism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Shintoism is practiced in Japan, Christianity is practiced throughout the world, Judaism is practiced in Israel and Islam is practiced in the Middle East. Hinduism is practiced in India, and Buddhism is practiced in Southeast Asia as well as China.
Buddhism Hinduism and Confuscianism are eastern religions. Although practiced in the west, they are not western religions. Western religions are those initiated in Europe and the western portion of the middle east. Christianity and Judaism are 'the' western religions, although certain minor religions (Druids, Norse myth) are western religions. Western religions do not include the indigenous religions of the western hemisphere. Islam is generally not considered a western religion, although being an Abrahamic religion, is considered western by some.
The common Abrahamic religions are middle eastern in origin as well as several others. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all started in the middle east. Baha'i and Druze were religions with Islamic roots and so were also originated in the Middle East. Finally, Zoroastrianism is a religion practiced by Persians until Islam took over in the region.
