First of all there is only one Religion. Second off all there is no specific religion in Russia.

I donno about the percentages, try Googling (or Yahoo!ing) it.

But the majority belong to the Russian Orthodox Church. (But they don't attend the services, they just celebrate the holidays)

Second comes Islam.

There's Buddhists in the East, Siberia, Ural Mountains etc.

There's a lot of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Pentecostals are viewed with some suspicion (speaking in tongues and all) but there are a few churches here and there.
As far as I know, very few Catholics as compared to other countries.

Many atheists too.

in chenchina the main religion is muslim.in the rest of russia it is the orthodox christian church.however due to communism very few people believe in a religion and since the fail of communism,it could be said that captialism and consumerism is their own religion.
