Answer to Question 1

Christianity is the largest and longest established religion in Europe.

Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy (primarily in the east and southeast), and various sects of Protestantism (strongest in northern Europe and the United Kingdom, i.e., the Anglican church in England and the Lutheran church in Germany)

Answer to Question 2

The differences among these religious groups have tended to shape individuals' and society's interactions, in turn, impacting music-cultural practices.
