The totally dominating religion of Morocco is Islam, in the Sunni variant. Practices from earlier religions still exist, even if they have taken a Muslim cloak. This is the case of the holy man idea, known as marabout.

Christianity is present, with about 100,000 adherents. These are generally of French descent from the colonial times, or immigrants.

Judaism still exist in Morocco, with a reported group of 5,000, and decreasing, mainly living in Casablanca and Marrakech.
