[[Christianity]] is the predominant religion in the city, of which most are adherents to the Russian Orthodox Church. The Yekaterinburg and Verkhotursky diocese is located in the [[Trinity Cathedral (Yekaterinburg)|Holy Trinity Cathedral]] in the city. Other religions practised in Yekaterinburg include [[Islam]], [[Old Believers]], [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]], [[Protestantism]], and [[Judaism]].

Yekaterinburg has a significant Muslim community, but it suffers from a lack of worship space: there are only two small [[mosque]]s. Another mosque was built in the nearby city of [[Verkhnyaya Pyshma]]. On 24 November 2007, the first stone was laid in the construction of a large [[Jama Masjid|Cathedral Mosque]] with four [[minaret]]s, and space for 2,500 parishioners in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral and a [[synagogue]], thus forming the "area of the three religions".<ref>{{cite web|title=В Екатеринбурге заложили первый камень в основание соборной мечети – Уральская палата недвижимости|url=http://upn.ru/index.aspx?page=news&categoryId=0&year=2007&month=11&day=0&id=7857&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1|access-date=5 October 2017|website=upn.ru|archive-date=10 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010150812/http://upn.ru/index.aspx?page=news&categoryId=0&year=2007&month=11&day=0&id=7857&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1|url-status=dead}}</ref> The mosque was planned to be built for the SCO summit, but due to funding problems, construction did not move from zero and is now frozen.

Construction of a [[Methodism|Methodist]] church started in 1992, and with the help of American donations, finished in 2001.<ref>{{cite web|title=Четвертый канал|url=http://www.channel4.ru/content/200106/18/012.metodist.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101220101214/http://www.channel4.ru/content/200106/18/012.metodist.html|archive-date=20 December 2010|access-date=5 October 2017|website=channel4.ru}}</ref> A synagogue was opened in 2005, on the same place a 19th-century synagogue was demolished in 1962.

Most of the city's religious buildings were [[USSR anti-religious campaign (1921–1928)|destroyed]] during the Soviet era, in addition to the synagogue, the three largest Orthodox churches in Yekaterinburg were demolished – the Epiphany Cathedral, the Ekaterininsky Cathedral, and the [[Great Zlatoust Church]]. Other Christian churches such as the Lutheran Church of Yekaterinburg and the Roman Catholic Church of St. Anne (a new Catholic [[St. Anne's Church, Yekaterinburg|St. Anne's Church]] was built in 2000) were demolished as well. Other churches were used as warehouses and industrial sites. The only religious building in Yekaterinburg in the Soviet era was the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Recently, some churches are being rebuilt. Since 2006, according to the surviving drawings, the Great Zlatoust Church was restored in 2012. On 17 April 2010, the city was visited by [[Patriarch Kirill of Moscow|Patriarch Kirill]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Встреча Святейшего Патриарха Кирилла с общественностью Уральского федерального округа / Видеоматериалы / Патриархия.ru|url=http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/1141514.html|access-date=18 October 2017|website=Патриархия.ru|language=ru}}</ref>
