Religion In Albania
The most common religion in Albania is Islam, with the second-most-common religion being Christianity. There are also many irreligious Albanians. There are no official statistics regarding the number of practising religious people per each religious group.

When asked about religion, people generally refer to their family's historical religious legacy and not to their own choice of faith.
