| has gloss | eng: Nominal religion in Norway is mostly Protestant (Evangelical-Lutheran) with 78.9% belonging to the state Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway. Early Norwegians, like all of the people of Scandinavia, were believing in Norse mythology; the Sámi having a shamanistic religion. Due to the efforts of Christian missionaries, Norway was gradually Christianized in a process starting at approximately 1000 AD and which was substantially finished by 1150AD. Prior to the Reformation, Norwegians were part of the Catholic Church with the conversion to Protestantism occurring in 1536. Islam is now the second largest religion due to recent migration trends although the census shows that there are more people with no religious beliefs. Christianity grows fast in Norway because there is a lot of Christian immigrants to Norway, like people from Poland, Ethiopia and the Philippines, but Islam is growing faster because the Church of Norway gets fewer and fewer members. Orthodoxy is the fastest-growing religion in Norway with a rate of 231.1% compared to Islam's 64.3% from 2000 to 2009. |

| has gloss | mkd: Религија во Норвешка е претежно протестантска (Евангелско-Лутеранска), со 82,7% од вкупниот број на населението на Норвешка. Раните Норвежани, како и сите народи на Скандинавија, биле многубожници верувајќи во Нордиската митологија. Благодарение на напорите на христијанските мисионери, Норвешка била постепено христијанизирана. Тој процес започнал некаде во 1000 година, а завршил во околу 1150 година. Пред реформацијата, Норвежаните биле дел од Римокатоличката црква, но по 1536 година тие го примиле протестантството. |
