=== Religion === {{Pie chart |thumb = right |caption = Religion in Gujarat (2011)<ref name="census2011" /><!--PLEASE DON'T ALTER THIS PIE CHART OR ITS SOURCES. The Census of India has "officially recognised" six religions in India: Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism. Rest of all the religions are placed in "Others" category and those not following any religion are placed under "Not stated". "CIA FACTBOOK" source data is based on 2011 Census of India but it is under-detailed since it places BUDDHISM, JAINISM, OTHER RELIGIONS and NOT STATED all under one category of "OTHERS". So, it is not a very dependable source and must not be used here. The present sources are apt and reliable enough to be used as one is published by official site of Census of India.--> |label1 = [[Hinduism]] |value1 = 88.57 |color1 = DarkOrange |label2 = [[Islam]] |value2 = 9.67 |color2 = Green |label3 = [[Jainism]] |value3 = 0.96 |color3 = Brown |label4 = [[Christianity]] |value4 = 0.52 |color4 = Blue |label5 = [[Sikhism]] |value5 = 0.1 |color5 = DarkKhaki |label6 = [[Buddhism]] |value6 = 0.05 |color6 = Gold |label7 = Others |value7 = 0.03 |color7 = Grey |label8 = Not stated |value8 = 0.1 |color8 = Black }} According to 2011 census, the religious makeup in Gujarat was 88.57% [[Hindu]], 9.67% [[Muslim]], 0.96% [[Jain]], 0.52% [[Christians|Christian]], 0.10% [[Sikh]], 0.05% [[Buddhist]] and 0.03% others.
