{{Main|History of Christianity in Hungary}}
{{See also|Religion in Hungary}}

The majority of Hungarians became [[Christianity|Christian]] in the 11th century. Hungary remained predominantly [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] until the 16th century, when the [[Protestant Reformation|Reformation]] led to the first [[Lutheranism|Lutherans]], and later [[Calvinism|Calvinists]], which were embraced by nearly the entire Hungarian population at the time.

In the second half of the 16th century, [[Jesuits]] led a successful campaign of [[counterreformation]] among the Hungarians, although Protestantism survived as the faith of a significant minority, especially in the far east and northeast of the country. [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christianity]] in Hungary has been the religion mainly of some national minorities in the country, notably [[Romanians]], [[Rusyns]], [[Ukrainians]], and [[Serbs]].

[[Faith Church, Hungary|Faith Church]], one of Europe's largest [[Pentecostal]] churches, is also located in Hungary. Hungary has historically been home to a significant [[Hungarian Jews|Jew]]ish community.
