Irreligion is present among Albanians (see religion in Albania), along with the predominant faiths of Islam and Christianity. Most Albanians are not considered religious.[1] In August 2012, Pew Research study found out that only 15% of the Muslim population for example, consider religion as a very important factor in their lives, which was the lowest percentage in the world amongst countries with significant Muslim populations.[2] Another survey conducted by Gallup Global Reports 2010 shows that religion plays a role to 39% of Albanians, and lists Albania as the thirteenth least religious country of the 114 surveyed.[3]
