Demographics[]
Religion[]
An estimated 81% of the Colombian population is Roman Catholic. Roman Catholicism was until 1985 the main religion on Colombia. The number of Roman Catholics has declined ever since Doomsday, thanks to immigration from North America and Eurasia, and the rapidly-growing non-religious community. However, Roman Catholicism is still by far the largest religion in Colombia.
The second largest Christian denomination in Colombia is Protestantism. Evangelical denominations had made significant headway in Latin America throughout the 20th century. As of 2024, the Protestant community in Colombia accounts for 13.5% of the Colombian population. The main Protestant denominations are the Adventist community and the Iglesia Evangélica Luterana (Lutheran Evangelist Church).
2.3% of the Colombian population is Jewish, and 2% non-religious. The remaining 3.5% of the population is mostly composed of Muslims and Jews, centered around the Lebanese community in Guajira and several small communities throughout important cities in the Pacific coast
