Religious affiliation in Fiji is largely divided along ethnic lines:
- Indigenous Fijians: Almost all indigenous Fijians are Christian, with the majority belonging to the Methodist faith.1
- People of Indian descent: Most people of Indian descent are Hindu, though a significant minority are Muslim.1
While these primary religious traditions define the two groups, other denominations are also present in the country, including a Roman Catholic population that accounts for about one-tenth of the total population, as well as a small Assemblies of God community.1
