Over 96.9% of the population of Azerbaijan is nominally Muslim. (Estimates include 96.9% Muslim,[2] 93.4% (Berkley Center, 2012),[3] 99.2% (Pew Research Center, 2009).[4]) The rest of the population adheres to other faiths or are non-religious, although they are not population is approximately 85% Shi'a and 15% Sunni; differences traditionally have not been defined sharply.[5] Azerbaijan has the second highest Shia population percentage in the world after Iran.[6]
Most Shias are adherents of orthodox Ithna Ashari school of Shi'a Islam. Other traditional religions or beliefs that are followed by many in the country are the orthodox Hanafi school of Sunni Islam. Traditionally villages around Baku and Lenkoran region are considered stronghold of Shi'ism. In some northern regions, populated by Sunni Dagestani (Lezghian) people, the Salafi movement gained some following. Folk Islam is widely practiced.
According to a 2010 Gallup Poll found 49% of Azerbaijanis answering no to the question "Is religion an important part of your daily life?", one of the highest rates among any Muslim-majority country.[7] A 1998 poll estimated the proportion of ardent believers in Azerbaijan at only 7 percent.[8][9]
