The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a secular nation and freedom of religion is enshrined in its constitution.[2] As of 2021[update], the US State Department reported that more than 95% of the population is affiliated with Christian denominations (of which nearly half are Roman Catholic, another half are Protestant, and a small number are Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and Greek Orthodox). The remaining 5% follow other non-Christian religions (Muslims, Baháʼís, Jews, and indigenous religions).[3]
