People belonging to the \u201cother religions\u201d category are estimated to have increased in number the most rapidly (up 101%). This change is largely due to a doubling of followers of other religions in Brazil, the region\u2019s most populous country. Throughout the region, the \u201cother religions\u201d category includes various<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Native-American-religion\/South-America\"> Indigenous<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americasquarterly.org\/fullwidthpage\/afro-latin-religion-in-the-americas\/\">Afro-Latin<\/a> religious traditions, such as Candombl\u00e9 in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The size of the region\u2019s religiously unaffiliated population also grew considerably (up 67%), while Muslims (up 6%), Hindus (up 5%) and Christians (up 3%) grew less rapidly. Across all of Latin America and the Caribbean in 2020, Muslims, Hindus, Jews and Buddhists still numbered fewer than 1 million each. By comparison, there were approximately 547 million Christians, 77 million religiously unaffiliated people and 20 million followers of other religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this period, the region\u2019s small population of Jews shrank the most (down 13%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were fewer changes in the <em>percentage<\/em> (or <em>share<\/em>) each religious group made up of the population of Latin America and the Caribbean. Christians grew more slowly in number than most other groups from 2010 to 2020, so their share of the region\u2019s residents fell 5 points, to 85% in 2020. The religiously unaffiliated grew 4 points (to 12%), and people in the \u201cother religions\u201d category increased by about 1 point, to make up 3% of the population in 2020.
