AnswerChristianity was the main one, but there were also Jews, Muslims, and more. AnswerTo add to that Roman Catholicism was the main religion during the middle ages, whereas Christian protestants, Jews, Muslims and any others were scarce because there was a threat of torture for the crime of heresy (enforced by Henry II). Jews and Muslims were usually from Israel and many fled to England to escape prosecution and to reform. They were forced to live a Christian life, hiding their true faith from those that were on the lookout for heretics. Many Spaniards fled from their country in fear of prosecution under a Catholic King at the time. AnswerChristianity, throughout much or most of Europe in the Middle Ages; Judaism, though in smaller numbers; Islam, especially in North Africa and Spain and, in the Late Middle Ages, the Balkans; Paganism, especially very early Middle Ages and in northern and eastern Europe. There were also other religions, most memorable of which to English speaking people might be the last remnant of Druidism, who were converted in the Early Middle Ages.

Christianity divided into the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches during the High Middle Ages, but there were also other churches, such as the Coptic Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and, in the Early Middle Ages, the Celtic Church. A tendency toward Protestantism was evident in the Late Middle Ages, and there were important heretical groups, most notably the Cathars, against whom the church conducted the Albigensian Crusade.
