Talking about the religious preferences of Sweden, the main factor was its territorial location. At the moment, the Protestant religious movement is officially recognized in Sweden. It is worth noting that there are more than 3,000 churches in this relatively small state. In the middle of last century, all church ministers were at the same time civil servants. A church tax was introduced, which was automatically deducted from the income of any citizen. However, over time the state waved the close support of the church. Notwithstanding, majority of believers still consider the religious direction an integral part of their everyday life; they regularly go to temples and churches during great holidays, always baptize their children and teach them from birth to respect saint covenants and true faith in God.

Other religions are poorly developed in Sweden. Less than 1% of the population consider themselves Orthodox, and virtually no one professes Catholicism. About 400,000 migrants profess Islam, and about 20,000 Jews profess Judaism. Despite the fact that some part of the population in Sweden is excessively religious, these indicators decrease every year. To date, Sweden is recognized as one of the most unbelieving countries in the world. About eighty percent of Swedes consider themselves to be absolute atheists and do not believe in the existence of higher powers. They treat religion as though it is some ancient cult, and do not consider it necessary to bring it into their modern life.
