Religion in the Bahamas
Religion in the Bahamas reflects the country's diversity.[1] The Bahamas are mainly Protestant Christian.[1] More than 91 percent of the population of the Bahamas professes a religion, and anecdotal evidence suggests that most attend services regularly.[1]
Protestant Christian denominations including Baptists (35 percent), Anglicans (15 percent), Pentecostals (8 percent), Church of God (5 percent), Seventh-day Adventists (5 percent), and Methodists (4 percent).[1] Although many unaffiliated Protestant congregations are almost exclusively black, most mainstream churches are integrated racially.[1]
There are significant Roman Catholic (14 percent) and Greek Orthodox populations.[1]
Smaller Jewish, Baha'i, Jehovah's Witness and Muslim communities also are active.[1] A small number of Bahamians and Haitians, particularly those living in the Family Islands, practice Obeah, a form of African shamanism.[1]
A small number of citizens identify themselves as Rastafarians.[1] Some members of the small resident Guyanese and Indian populations practice Hinduism and other South Asian religions.[1]
