ABSTRACT
Spain is a non-denominational country from a juridical point of view. There are no official statistics regarding religious affiliation as such, because the Spanish Constitution forbids any request of statement about it.1 However, it is clear that Catholics are a majority-more than 75 percent of the total population, according to the Centre for Sociological Research.2 As stated by this survey, 1.8 percent of the Spanish population would pertain to non-Catholic denominations and 20.6 percent would be atheistic or non-believers. However, other sources estimate that 2 percent of the population is Islamic, 1.5 percent Evangelicals, 2 percent Orthodox Christian, and that there is a small representation of Jews. Most persons from these groups are from non-Spanish origins.3
