[[Islam in Indonesia|Islam]] is the majority religion in Sulawesi. The conversion of the lowlands of the south western peninsula (South Sulawesi) to Islam occurred in the early 17th century. The kingdom of Luwu in the Gulf of Bone was the first to embrace Islam in February 1605; the Makassar kingdom of Gowa-Talloq, centred on the modern-day city of [[Makassar]], followed suit in September.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Noorduyn | first1 = J | year = 1956 | title = 'De Islamisering van Makasar.'

Most Muslims are [[Sunni]]s.

[[Christianity in Indonesia|Christians]] form a substantial minority on the island. According to the [[demography|demographer]] Toby Alice Volkman, 17% of Sulawesi's population is [[Protestantism in Indonesia|Protestant]] and less than 2% is [[Catholic Church in Indonesia|Catholic]]. Christians are concentrated on the tip of the northern peninsula around the city of [[Manado]], which is inhabited by the [[Minahasa]], a predominantly Protestant people, and the northernmost [[Sangir Islands|Sangir]] and [[Talaud Islands]]. The [[Toraja]] people of [[Tana Toraja]] in South Sulawesi have largely converted to Christianity since Indonesia's independence. There are also substantial numbers of Christians around [[Lake Poso]] in Central Sulawesi, among the [[Pamona]] speaking peoples of Central Sulawesi, and near Mamasa.

Though most people identify themselves as Muslims or Christians, they often [[Religious syncretism|subscribe to local beliefs and deities as well]].

Smaller communities of [[Buddhism in Indonesia|Buddhists]] and [[Hinduism in Indonesia|Hindus]] are also found on Sulawesi, usually among the [[Chinese Indonesian|Chinese]], [[Balinese people|Balinese]], and [[Indian Indonesian|Indian]] communities.
