Short answer... 49% Roman Catholic, 48% Protestant

Long answer...
Switzerland is divided into 26 cantons, whose borders often mark religious and linguistic areas. Most cantons were created with either a Protestant majority (like Geneva and Zurich) or a Catholic one (like Valais, Fribourg and Lucerne). Where two communities share the same territory, cantons are divided into half-cantons. For example, Basle City (Protestant) and Basle Country (Catholic). Mentalities vary greatly, according to factors such as religion, language and whether people live in town or the country. Thus, people from rural, Catholic, German- speaking cantons have a very different mentality from those living in Geneva.

Even though people are hard working, motivations for working and the general attitude toward life is not the same. Among the 30% of 鈥渁uthentic鈥?Genevans in Geneva, what matters is money in the bank rather than indulging in spending. Parsimony, modesty and long term views are the rule and make Genevan businessmen a prosperous bunch. Apart from saving and investing, the Genevans will feel strongly obliged to give money to charities (of which there鈥檚 no lack in Geneva). This mentality is skillfully described in Albert Cohen鈥檚 books (Solal, Belle du Seigneur).

In Catholic, rural areas, people are not inhibited at all to spend their money for expensive cars or Texas-sized houses, and feel a duty toward their family at large. Corporate paternalism and nepotism are seen as values. Family and quality of life tend to be rated higher than profit, especially when people have worked hard enough above basic needs to be wealthy by their community鈥檚 standards. Those who build corporate empires are seen as lacking common sense, and the point of piling up many times more money that one can use is not understood. These differences in Weltanschauung exist even among people who are not religious in the least.

Honesty is the rule among the Swiss, and for a very practical reason. The Swiss do not need to work themselves into an early grave to make a nice living, but one act of dishonesty can tarnish a reputation and make life much harder. The moral of self-interest can thus partly explain the scrupulous honesty of most Swiss.

The work ethic is strong throughout Switzerland, but the reasons for this vary. In Protestant cities like Zurich or Geneva, the driving force is morality, the conviction that only those who work hard will be redeemed (read Max Weber), whereas in rural and Catholic cantons, where poverty ruled only 50 years ago, working hard has always been the only way of surviving for the mountain peasants. Today, people are much better off, but the ethic of hard work remains strong.

Christianity... They're mostly christians
it doesn't have just one religion... the population will differ in religions!

I'm guessing that the most followed religion would be christianity.
