Around 86% of the population are members of the Lutheran Church. Orthodox believers make up 1% of the population, as do Pentecostals. Some 10% of the population do not belong to any religious group. Finland has an estimated 15,000 - 20,000 followers of Islam.

A total of 4.4 million persons belong to Evangelical-Lutheran congregations in Finland. The Church is part of the Finnish way of life, and Christian values are taught already in the schools. Among other things, children learn that there are some solid principles to live by, such as honesty, peace and hope in the promises and love of Jesus Christ. They also learn that a Christian does not bow down to idols or images, nor do they hold any man or woman, living or dead, or their teachings on the same level as the Bible, or of Jesus Christ. A Christian does not pray to dead created beings, or Saints, hoping they will pass on the request to God. A Christian goes boldly directly to the top. According to Pastor Daniel Erlander, the cross where Jesus suffered and died is seen as a symbol of the point at which God meets man, which transcends the power of logic. We cannot find God by our own works, but by seeking Him in humility and, in our helplessness, God's grace and love finds us. As a result, Finns have become among the most free and prosperous people in the world.
