Lutheran Christianity is officially the largest religion in Sweden, with 6.3 million Swedish citizens being members of the Church of Sweden.〔(Svenska kyrkan i siffror ) Svenska kyrkan〕 Other Christian Churches include the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Islam is the second largest religion in Sweden, practiced by 5% of the population.〔(International Religious Freedom Report 2009 : Sweden ), U.S. Department Of State.〕 The remaining population is either irreligious or belongs to other religious groups.〔Crabtree, Steve (August 31, 2010). "Religiosity Highest in World's Poorest Nations". Gallup Global Reports.〕 Sweden was Christianized from Norse paganism during a long period, not final until the 1130s. Since the 16th century, Sweden has been predominantly Lutheran. From the Protestant Reformation in the 1530s until 2000, the Lutheran Church of Sweden ((スウェーデン語:Svenska kyrkan)) was the state church. As of 2014, 64.6%〔 of Swedish citizens are members of the Church of Sweden, compared to over 95% in 1970, and 83% in 2000.〔(Swedes depart church in droves )〕 Despite that, religiosity in Sweden plays a limited role compared to the European average. In a Eurobarometer Poll in 2010, just 18% of Swedish citizens responded that "they believe there is a god", although a further 45% answered that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force".〔 In a 2009 Gallup poll, 17% answered yes to the question "Is religion an important part of your daily life?". Less than 4% of the Church of Sweden membership attends public worship during an average week; about 2% are regular attendees.〔(Church of Sweden statistics )〕 Some scholars consider the nation to be a place where religion is regarded with “benign indifference”.〔〕 The history of the Jews in Sweden can be traced back to the 17th century. Because of immigration in the latter part of the 20th century, there is today a sizeable minority of Muslims (5% of population〔(Religion - SWEDEN.SE ) 〕) and Roman Catholics (2%). ==History==
