Religion
During the Middle Ages, Christianity, Judaism and Islamism were the religious options without distinction, but from the time of the Catholic Monarchs and Inquisition, Christianity became the official religion in Spain.

Liberal Constitutions of the 19th century established religious freedom, but during the conservative periods, Roman Catholic religion became the official religion of the State.

During the last two centuries, respect for all religions and freedom of worship has spread, though Roman Catholic Church influence is still very important. Almost 98 % of Spaniards are Catholic, though not all of them take part in religious rituals. The other 2 % belongs to the Jewish and Islamic religions that still exist in our country.
