Most Finns are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Of Finland (82.5%)1. A minority belongs to the Finnish Orthodox Church (1.1%) (see Eastern Orthodox Church ). Other Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church in Finland are significantly smaller, as are the Muslim , Jewish and other non-Christian communities (totaling 1.2%). 15.1%2 of the population is unaffiliated. The main Lutheran and Orthodox churches are the Official Churches of Finland. However, church attendance is much lower than these figures may suggest. Most of the population holds generally secular views. A majority of members of the state Lutheran Church do not participate actively, and even then it is mostly for occasions like weddings and funerals.3
