There is a growing trend to learn additional foreign languages in Serbia, but today few people are fluent in a second language. English and other popular international languages are being taught in greater numbers, but few people are fluent in these languages and those who are tend to be young adults or students.
Religion
The most common religion in Serbia is Serbian Orthodoxy, which is what most Serbs identify with. Catholicism and smaller Christian religions are also practiced by the minority; most notably Catholicism being practiced by the ethnic Magyars (Hungarians) and Croatians.
Orthodoxy is a Christian religion that claims to be the most loyal to the Christian faith and religion as it was described by Jesus and the Gospels in the New Testament. Christianity, including Orthodoxy, was founded after the death of Jesus in about 30-33 AD; various branches of Orthodoxy were officially recognized by governments long before Catholicism was recognized in the Roman Empire.
Orthodoxy and Catholicism have many of the same beliefs; both believe that there is a single God who created everything and a savior, the son of God, Jesus Christ who is the forgiver of sins. However, Orthodoxy is decentralized so each bishop oversees their local country or region, giving each orthodox country a different leader. In this way, no bishop has more power than any other, meaning the tenants and interpretations of the faith remain relatively unchanged. These beliefs are based on the teachings of the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, in particular the life and teachings of Jesus, which is found in the gospels (in the New Testament).
