Religion

Main article: Religion in Trinidad and Tobago

The 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.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “People in general are equally horrified at hearing the Christian religion doubted, and at seeing it practised.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “But is it not the fact that religion emanates from the nature, from the moral state of the individual? Is it not therefore true that unless the nature be completely exercised, the moral state harmonised, the religion cannot be healthy?”
    —Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)
