What religion were most people in England when Romeo and Juliet was being written?

When William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, the majority of people in England were Christian, specifically Anglican.

Here's why:

* The Church of England (also known as the Anglican Church) had become the official religion of England in 1534 under King Henry VIII.

* While other Christian denominations existed, the Anglican Church held the most power and influence in society.

While Shakespeare's works often explored themes of religion, he generally avoided taking sides in the religious debates of his time.
