Religion in the Faroe Islands

Historically linked to both Norway and Denmark, the islands' religious evolution reflects a blend of Norse traditions and Danish influences.

Although the Lutheran Church remains predominant, the islands also host an array of other religious groups, including smaller Protestant denominations, Catholics, and followers of non-Trinitarian religions.

Notably, the religious fervor and observance in the Faroe Islands are considerably more intense than in Denmark, making it an essential facet of the Faroese cultural and social landscape.

This event is believed to have taken place around 1000, but the Faroese did not establish an organised congregation of the Catholic Church before around 1100, so there do appear to be some inconsistencies in the saga.

There are also small groups of Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Ahmadi Muslims and followers of the Baháʼí Faith in the country.
