Since as early as 1593, Lutheranism (Church of Sweden) has been the prevailing religion of Sweden. Today, roughly seventy percent of the nation claims to be Lutheran. The numbers are reducing by small percentage points each year due to a change in law where all births were registered as Lutheran if one of the parents was Lutheran.

In 1996 the law changed to respect individual rights and today a child is registered as Lutheran once Christened.

The next highest percentage point are members of several 'Free Churches,' those claiming to be non-denominational and occasionally Methodist.

Closely following are Eastern Orthodox at roughly 100,00 members and Roman Catholics at slightly lower numbers.

There is a small number of Anglicans, Muslims, and Jews comprising the diversity of Swedish culture.

In 2000, ceased having a 'state church' (similar to England having the Church of England), and separated the Church of Sweden from any State influence or support. This was the final step in respect to Sweden's law on Freedom of Religion act. This is reflective of Sweden's diversity and willingness to embrace a multiculturalist society.
