== Religions == {{Main|Religion in Mongolia}} [[Image:Enfant de Mongolie.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A young Mongolian boy]] Various forms of [[Shamanism]] have been widely practiced throughout the history of what is now Mongolia, as such beliefs were common among nomadic people in Asian history. Such beliefs gradually gave way to Tibetan Buddhism, but shamanism has left a mark on Mongolian religious culture, and continues to be practiced. Traditionally, [[Tibetan Buddhism]] was the predominant religion. However, it was suppressed under the communist regime until 1990, with only one showcase monastery allowed to remain. Since 1990, as liberalization began, Buddhism has encountered a resurgence. {| class="wikitable sortable" |+ Religions in Mongolia<br><small>(population aged 15 and above)</small> |- ! rowspan="2" | Year ! colspan="2" | [[Buddhism in Mongolia|Buddhism]] ! colspan="2" | [[Islam in Mongolia|Islam]] ! colspan="2" | [[Mongolian shamanism|Shamanism]] ! colspan="2" | [[Christianity in Mongolia|Christianity]] ! colspan="2" | Other religions ! colspan="2" | Atheism ! rowspan="2" | Year |- ! # !! % ! # !! % ! # !! % ! # !! % ! # !! % ! # !! % |- | 2010 | 909,357 || {{percentage bar|width=50|53}} | 190,702 || {{percentage bar|width=50|3.0}} | 155,174 || {{percentage bar|width=50|2.9}} | 41,117 || {{percentage bar|width=50|2.1}} | 6,933 || {{percentage bar|width=50|0.4}} | 835,283 || {{percentage bar|width=50|40}} | 3,000,000 |- | 2020<ref name=2020census>{{cite web|title=2020 Population and Housing Census|publisher=National Statistics Office of Mongolia|url=https://tuv.nso.mn/uploads/users/87/files/Khun_am_toollogo.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230901022031/https://tuv.nso.mn/uploads/users/87/files/Khun_am_toollogo.pdf|archive-date=1 September 2023|access-date=15 August 2023|url-status=bot: unknown}}</ref> | {{n/a}} || {{percentage bar|width=50|51.7}} | {{n/a}} || {{percentage bar|width=50|3.2}} | {{n/a}} || {{percentage bar|width=50|2.5}} | {{n/a}} || {{percentage bar|width=50|1.3}} | {{n/a}} || {{percentage bar|width=50|0.7}} | {{n/a}} || {{percentage bar|width=50|40.6}} | {{n/a}} |}
