Religion in North America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Religion in North America spans the period of Native American dwelling, European settlement, and the present day. Its various faiths have been a major influence on art, culture, philosophy and law.
Between them, the USA, Mexico and Canada account for 85% of the population of North America. Religion in each of these countries is dominated by Christianity (Mexico: 94%; USA: 80%; Canada 75%)
Irreligiosity (atheism, agnosticism) is highest in Canada and the US (Canada: 16% USA: 15%), and accounts for roughly 10% of North American population.
Minority religions include Islam (Canada: 2%; USA: 0.6%; Mexico: 0.3%) and Judaism (USA: 1.4%).
Voodoo is also practised around the back islands of North and South America.
