Which religion is practiced by most Panamanians?

Roman Catholicism is the religion practiced by approximately three-fourths of the population in Panama. While the country has no official religion, its constitution guarantees freedom of worship for all citizens.12

In addition to the Catholic majority, the religious landscape includes a growing number of Protestants, particularly within Pentecostal churches, as well as long-standing Protestant traditions among Indigenous groups and the African population in the Bocas del Toro province. Other religious practices in the country include a Jewish community and the syncretic religion Santería, which combines Roman Catholic and traditional West African beliefs.1
