"Romania is a secular state, thus having no national religion. The majority of the country's citizens are, however, members of the Romanian Orthodox Church, with 86.7% of the country's population identifying as Orthodox in the 2002 census. Other important religions include the Roman Catholicism (4.7%), Protestantism (3.7%), Pentecostal denominations (1.5%) and the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church (0.9%). Romania also has a small but historically significant Muslim minority, concentrated in Dobrogea, who are mostly of Turkish ethnicity and number 67,500 people. Based on the 2002 census data, there are also approximately 6,000 Jews and 23,105 people who are of no religion and/or atheist."

Orthodoxy is by far the most popular faith in Romania. The next runner-up would be Catholicism, then the Uniate church, then all denominations of Protestantism, then Judaism, then everything else.

Orthodox Christian. The very first such church in the western and subject of Rome as contrasted with the eastern rite Constantinople , I believe, is St. Michael's and located in a very rural and out of the way place.
