Religion
The state religion is Roman Catholicism which 80-85% of the population professes. 15-20% of Haitians practice Protestantism. A significant percentage of the population also practice Vodou traditions approximately 20-25%, but these claims are denied by a significant amount of the strict Roman Catholic populace. Haitians that do practice both faiths however tend to see no conflict in these African-rooted beliefs co-existing with the Roman Catholic faith.
