Religion
Main article: Religion in Trinidad and TobagoThe largest religious groups are the Roman Catholics and Hindus. The Anglicans, Muslims, Presbyterians, Methodist and Gurdwara sikhs are among the smaller groups. Two Afro-Caribbean syncretic faiths, the Shouter or Spiritual Baptist and the Orisha faith (formerly called Shangos, a less than complimentary term) are among the fastest growing religious groups, as are a host of American-style evangelical and fundamentalist churches usually lumped as "Pentecostal" by most Trinidadians (although this designation is often inaccurate). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), has also expanded its presence in the country since the mid-1980s.
