Religion in Belarus (2020)[1]
Eastern Orthodoxy (83.3%)
Other Christian (1.0%)
No religion (7.8%)
Other religions (0.2%)
Christianity is the main religion in Belarus, with Eastern Orthodoxy being the largest denomination. The legacy of the state atheism of the Soviet era is apparent in the fact that a proportion of Belarusians (especially in the east part of the country) are not religious. Moreover, other non-traditional and new religions have sprung up in the country after the end of the Soviet Union.
According to the estimations for 2011 by the Ministry of the Interior, 73.3% of the Belarusians are Orthodox Christians, 14.8% are irreligious (atheists and agnostics), 9.7% are Catholic Christians (either Latin Catholic and Belarusian Greek Catholic), and 3.5% are members of other religions (mostly pentecostals).[1][2]
