Following [[British colonization of the Americas|British]] and [[French colonization of the Americas|French colonization]] of the region surrounding Michigan, [[Christianity in the United States|Christianity]] became the dominant religion, with [[Roman Catholicism]] historically being the largest single Christian group for the state.
