The population of San Salvador is predominantly [[Roman Catholic]], with a significant minority of Protestants. There is more diversity of religion than in most Latin American countries. The Protestant population is mostly Evangelical. One of the largest Protestant churches in the city is the ''Iglesia Cristiana Josue'' (from the [[Assemblies of God]]), another is the ''Tabernaculo Biblico Bautista, Amigos de Israel'' (Bible Baptist Tabernacle, Friends of Israel). There are also members of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], which opened the [[San Salvador El Salvador Temple]] in 2011. There are also smaller Latter-day Saints chapels in Districts 1 and 3.

As in most of the country, Roman Catholicism plays a prominent role in the celebration of holidays, including ''Las Fiestas Agostinas'' (The August Festivals) in honor of Jesus Christ, the [[Patron saint]] of El Salvador, referred to as ''El Salvador del Mundo'' (The Savior of the World). These events are becoming less prominent with a sharp decline in the Roman Catholic population during the past decade. San Salvador is also home to about 3,500 Jews; the Jewish community is still robust, but less so since the 1980s, as a large number of them left with the start of the Salvadoran Civil War. Many Jews had migrated to El Salvador during World War II due to the work of [[José Castellanos Contreras]], the Salvadoran diplomatic [[Consul General]] in Geneva, [[Switzerland]], who helped a Jewish-Hungarian businessman named [[Gyorgy Mandl]] save up to 40,000 Jews in Central Europe from the Nazi persecution by giving them Salvadoran nationality papers. The city has a small community of [[Palestinians]], mostly descendants of [[Palestinian Christian]] families who immigrated from [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] in the late 19th and early 20th century, with the highest rate of immigration between 1910 and 1925.<ref name="Guzmán">{{cite book|title=A Century of Palestinian Immigration into Central America|year=2000|publisher=Editorial Universidad de Costa Rica|isbn=9789977675879|pages=42–49|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Pv-HzTRQPQsC&pg=PA42|author=Roberto Marín Guzmán}}</ref>
