What are the major religions of Russia, and which is the majority religion that people follow? Is there any special religion that is followed only by the people of Russia?

The major religion is Russian Orthodox Christianity, which is professed by about 75 percent of citizens.

I read somewhere that Russia has the highest proportion of Muslims for an European country; 25%.

Is that correct?

In wikipedia they say that not more that 5%
May be in 25% they account ethnical muslims, that are not counted in 5% because they are atheistic, and only by birth could have been muslims
