'''Irreligion in Montenegro''' refers in its narrowest sense to [[Philosophy:Agnosticism|agnosticism]], [[Philosophy:Atheism|atheism]], [[Philosophy:Secular humanism|secular humanism]], and general [[Philosophy:Secularism|secularism]]. Increase of the number of irreligious people is usually interpreted by the [[Social:Modernization theory|modernization]] marked with tendency of secularization and the progress of science and technology that directly affect human society.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vijesti.me/vijesti/drustvo/ateisti-cg-vjerske-organizacije-manipulisu-osjecanjima-gradana|title=Ateisti CG: Vjerske organizacije manipulišu osjećanjima građana|accessdate=October 7, 2014}}</ref>

The majority of Montenegro's population, 98.69%, declares to belong to a religion,<ref name="monstat 2011" /> though observance of their declared religion may vary widely.

On the census from 2011, atheists, those who declared no religion, comprised about 1.24% of the whole population, and agnostics 0.07%.<ref name="monstat 2011" />

Religiosity is lowest in the Bay of Kotor region and the capital city of [[Place:Podgorica|Podgorica]].<ref name="monstat 2011" />

Municipalities with highest share of atheists are Herceg Novi (2.43%), Kotor (2.03%), [[Place:Podgorica|Podgorica]] (1.99%) and Tivat (1.7%). In contrast, Rožaje has the fewest atheists, who make up only 0.01% of its population.<ref name="monstat 2011" />

In some municipalities more than half of population are undeclared, however.
