=== Religion ===
 
Majority of Quezon's inhabitants primarily practice [[Roman Catholicism]], which is overwhelmingly accounts to 91.7% or more than nine out of ten of the entire population of the province, while at the City of Lucena, Catholics accountsaccount to 91.3% of the city population. Quezon contributes to Catholic population as the sixteenth most Catholic province in the Philippines, with 1.9 million faithfuls, whilst the City of Lucena is the seventh most Catholic highly urbanized city in the Philippines, with more than 254,000 faithfuls.<ref>https://www.psa.gov.ph/system/files/phcd/1_Press%20Release%20on%20Religious%20Affiliation_RML_01272023_FJRA_PMMJ_CRD-signed_0.pdf</ref> Catholic hierarchy in the province is subdivided by two Dioceses of [[Diocese of Lucena|Lucena]], and [[Diocese of Gumaca|Gumaca]] with the latter born out of the former in 1984 and Catholic Prelate of [[Prelature of Infanta|Infanta]] was established on 25 April 1950, a month after Lucena Diocese was established. The prelature of Infanta is shared with [[Province of Aurora|Aurora]], being a former part and forerunner of Quezon. Among other Christian denominations like [[Iglesia Filipina Independiente|Philippine Independent Church]], [[Iglesia ni Cristo]] shares a smaller size of the percentage. Most non-Christians practice [[Islam]], [[Indigenous Philippine folk religions]], [[animism]], or [[atheism]].
