Religion in Honduras: Catholic Majority, Growing Protestant/Evangelical Presence

Honduras is predominantly Christian:

  • Roman Catholic: ~70% (historically dominant; deep cultural influence, festivals, patron saints).
  • Protestant/Evangelical ("evangélicos"): ~25% and rising—Pentecostals, Assemblies of God, Baptists, Jehovah's Witnesses.
  • Other/Indigenous: Small minorities; Lenca and other groups practice syncretic or traditional beliefs alongside Christianity.

Figures vary by survey; religious affiliation is fluid. The Catholic Church remains socially influential, while evangelical growth reshapes the spiritual landscape.
