Belgium is ninety percent Roman Catholic.

Religion has been another source of division in Belgium's history, with the people in the north of the country inclining towards Protestantism and the teachings of Luther. The Inquisition and the suppression of dissent in the sixteenth century was one of the reasons why the Northern Low Countries fought for their independence as Holland. The Catholic areas which became Belgium did not have the same incentive for revolt.
