Haiti is a majority Christian country. For much of its history and up to the present day, Haiti has been prevailingly a Christian country, primarily Roman Catholic, although in practice often profoundly modified and influenced through syncretism. A common syncretic religion is Vodou, which combined the Yoruba religion of enslaved Africans with Catholicism and some Native American strands; it shows similarities, and shares many deity-saints, with Cuban Santería and Brazilian Candomblé. The constitution of Haiti establishes the freedom of religion and does not establish a state religion, although the Catholic Church receives some preferential treatment.
Those identifying with the Catholic Church make up the largest single Christian group in the country, they are variously estimated to be about 55 percent of the population according to the 2018 CIA World Factbook,[2] and 57 percent according to the Pew Research Center. The historical background is very much due to the French influence brought about through the newly conquered territories.
Protestantism has grown in recent years and Protestants have been estimated by the CIA World Factbook to form 28.5% of the population, while the Pew Research Center estimates their share to be nearly 28 percent.
