According to public opinion polls, irreligion in Uruguay ranges from 30 to 40 to over 47 percent of the population. Uruguay has been the least-religious country in South America due to nineteenth-century political events influenced by positivism, secularism, and other beliefs held by intellectual Europeans. The resistance of the indigenous population to evangelization, which prevented the establishment of religion during the colonial era, has also been influential. According to Nestor DaCosta (2003), irreligion has historically been a feature of Uruguayan identity.

  • According to public opinion polls, irreligion in Uruguay ranges from 30 to 40 to over 47 percent of the population. Uruguay has been the least-religious country in South America due to nineteenth-century political events influenced by positivism, secularism, and other beliefs held by intellectual Europeans. The resistance of the indigenous population to evangelization, which prevented the establishment of religion during the colonial era, has also been influential. According to Nestor DaCosta (2003), irreligion has historically been a feature of Uruguayan identity. Atheism and agnosticism have become oral traditions for several generations. Non-believers are a statistical minority but have been present for more than a century. Some investigations present that in recent times, secularism and nonreligious beliefs have grown in the religious landscape of Uruguay due to the influence of postmodernism, as in Western Europe. Some experts argue that the number of nonreligious people has stagnated, but believers in non-Christian faiths have been growing in numbers in recent decades (Conwell Investigation, 2013). Jason Mandryk said that secularism has slowly become less influential because of an increased interest in spirituality and a revival into Christianity, and young people are less anti-Catholic than previous generations. Other forms of Christianity (such as evangelicalism) are growing in poor regions, and African religion is gaining influence in all Uruguayan sectors. Uruguay is still a secular nation socially, but the number of places of worship is increasing. Although public life is still secular, private life has become more religious. (en)

El ateísmo y el agnosticismo se han convertido en tradiciones orales durante varias generaciones. Los no creyentes son una minoría estadística pero han estado presentes durante más de un siglo. Algunas investigaciones presentan que en los últimos tiempos, el laicismo y las creencias no religiosas han crecido en el panorama religioso de Uruguay debido a la influencia del posmodernismo, al igual que en Europa Occidental. Algunos expertos argumentan que la cantidad de personas no religiosas se ha estancado, pero los creyentes en religiones no cristianas han aumentado en número en las últimas décadas (Investigación Conwell, 2013[cita requerida]. Jason Mandryk dijo que el secularismo se ha vuelto lentamente menos influyente debido a un mayor interés en la espiritualidad y un renacimiento en el cristianismo,​ y los jóvenes son menos anticatólicos que las generaciones anteriores. Otras formas de cristianismo (como el evangelicalismo) están creciendo en regiones pobres, y la religión africana está ganando influencia en todos los sectores uruguayos[cita requerida]. Uruguay sigue siendo una nación laica socialmente, pero el número de lugares de culto va en aumento. Aunque la vida pública sigue siendo secular, la vida privada se ha vuelto más religiosa​. (es)
