In Austria, the right to freedom of religion and worship is protected. Austrians make up almost three-fourths of the population. Many Austrians embrace "baptismal certificate Catholicism," which refers to being baptized Catholic and adhering to religious rituals but not holding fundamental Catholic doctrines. Protestantism is another significant faith in Austria, and many foreign employees are Muslim or Serbian Orthodox. There is also a tiny Jewish community in Vienna, made up primarily of immigrants from after World War II and their families, despite the fact that Jews have been present in the city since the ninth century. The bulk of religious practitioners are Catholic priests, Islamic professors and mosque administrators, Protestant ministers, and Jewish rabbis.
