Over the past decade, the share of the Swedish population who was a member of the Swedish Church decreased steadily from 70 percent in 2010 to 53 percent in 2022. This underlines the trend that religion is playing a smaller part in people's lives in Sweden.
The Church of Sweden is the largest Christian church in Sweden and it was the state church between 1536 and 2000.
