Atmosphere of Spain: religion and languages
Spain’s entry into the European Union and various modern Western trends is gradually affecting the overall religious situation in the country. Every year, the percentage of atheist’s is on the increase. The youth refuse to adopt the traditions of religion. In addition, the country is quite liberal about other faiths and many Spaniards even support the idea of same-sex marriage. As for religious holidays, they are loved and valued not only by adherents of Catholicism. Various holy dates have turned into Spanish noisy festivities with songs and dances and each separate settlement has chosen its own patron Saint. An incredibly large-scale holiday is organized yearly in honor of these Saints. As a result of the historic Caliphate, there are a lot of ancient Mosques in Spain, many of which are now empty. However, Mosques in larger cities are still visited by migrants from Algeria and Morocco. In general, there are about one million citizens who profess Islam. Approximately one and a half million people in the country consider themselves Protestants. Spanish gypsies are evangelists. There are however very few Jews in the country. This is so because during the rule of the Inquisition, they were permanently expelled from the territory of modern Spain and now the Jews are not keen on returning.
