Irreligious is the second studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band, Moonspell, released 1996. It features some of the best-known songs of the band, such as "Opium", "Ruin & Misery", "Awake!" and "Full Moon Madness". The latter is usually the closing song during almost every Moonspell concert, which over time has become a characteristic of their concerts. Before the song begins, Fernando Ribeiro often makes the sign of the circle (symbolizing Moon) over the crowd. The 3rd track "Awake!" features a recording of Aleister Crowley reading his poem 'The Poet'.

The album was promoted by the first Moonspell music video "Opium", which contained imagery of 19th century-looking opium den.
