Protestant religions began to appear after the renaissance; but, the Hapsburg's led a counter reformation that ensured Catholicism was reinstated as the predominant religion in Hungary during the 17th century. You will also find a Greek Orthodox Catholic community in Hungary; but, it is less than 3% of the population.

Today, Protestants account for just over 20% of the population, with Calvinist making up 16% and Lutherans accounting for 4%. As a result of the decimation of the Jewish community, today Judaism is practiced by only about 80,000 Hungarians. An even smaller group practices Islam, a remnant of the Ottoman Turk rule. The Islamic population is estimated at several thousand.
