Lisbon, Portugal   Interior of the Igreja de Santa Maria  Jerónimos  Monastery , Lisbon The most predominant  religion in  Portugal  is  Roman Catholicism . Approximately 84% of the population are nominally Roman Catholic, but only about 19% attend mass and take the sacraments regularly. Yet a larger number wish to be baptized, married in the church, and receive last rites. [1] Although church and state were formally separated during the  Portuguese First Republic  (1910-26), a separation reiterated in the constitution of 1976, Roman Catholic precepts continue to have a relative weight in the Portuguese society and  culture . Many Portuguese holidays, festivals and traditions have a religious origin or connotation. The educational and health care systems were for a long time the church's preserve, and many times when a building, bridge, or highway was opened, it received the blessing of the clergy. Hence, although church and state were formally separated, the Roman Catholic Church still receives a privileged treatment (despite strong opposition by left-wing political parties). Statistically, religious practices decrease according to age, being younger generations less religious than older ones. This information is from the  Wikipedia
