Mostly muslim (after forced conversion), some still are Yezidi. A variation of Zoroastrianism.

Most of the Kurds are Sunni Muslims, but there are many other religions among them.

Some background, translated from the Finnish (with some awkward phrases), but the most information I've seen in one place:

Kurds and Kurdistans

The Kurds are far from homogeneous, which is why their future as an autonomous state raises questions.
