Freedom of Religion in Andorra - Religious Demography

Religious Demography

The country has an area of 180 square miles (470 km2) and a population of 81,200 (December 2006 figure). Few official statistics are available on religion; traditionally, approximately 90% of the population is Catholic. The population consists largely of immigrants from Spain, Portugal, and France, with full citizens representing less than 36% of the total. The immigrants are also generally Catholic. It is estimated that, of the Catholic population, half are active church attendees. Other Christian groups include the New Apostolic Church; the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons); several Protestant denominations, including the Anglican Church; the Reunification Church; and Jehovah's Witnesses. Other religious groups include Jews, Muslims (primarily two thousand North African immigrants divided into two groups, one more fundamentalist) and Hindus. An estimated one hundred Jews live in the country.

Foreign missionaries are active and operate without restriction.
