Religion
The majority of the region's population are Christians, mostly Catholics; however, there are also Muslims, Buddhists, and Shintoists living in the region.
Although the region is predominantly Christian, one of its provinces, Davao del Sur, was under the influence of the Bangsamoro. This was proven when in the 1st day of August 1989 the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao attempted to put the province under its jurisdiction; however, on November 6, 1990, only 5 provinces joined the region. Until now, the Bangsamoro attempts to increase their influence on their so-called Bangsamoro Nation, which is the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, to include all of Mindanao under its jurisdiction.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“One’s religion is whatever he is most interested in, and yours is Success.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
“All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to children by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible; and the prophets would prophesy and the philosophers celebrate in vain. And nothing stands between the people and the fictions except the silly falsehood that the fictions are literal truths, and that there is nothing in religion but fiction.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The cloister and the observatory saint
Take comfort in about the same complaint.
So science and religion really meet.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
