This can be traced back to the nation's colonization by French and British settlers. Due to heavy French influence, most Christians on the island are [[Roman Catholic|Catholics]], with 50.6% of the island's residents identifying as such. The remaining population identifies mostly with Protestant denominations like Seventh-day Adventist and Pentecostal churches. About 1.9% of the population identified as members of the [[Rastafari movement]]. The number of residents claiming no religion stood at 14.1% in 2022 up from 5.9% in 2011 Census.<ref name='2022 Census'>{{cite web|title = St. Lucia Provisional Census Report 2022 – Release 1Rev1|url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240817000000/https://stats.gov.lc/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/StLucia-Provisional-Census-Report-2022-Release-1Rev1.pdf|publisher = Central Statistical Office of Saint Lucia|date = August 17, 2024|access-date = April 18, 2025 }}</ref> There is no state religion in Saint Lucia. The nation's constitution guarantees freedom of religion and prohibits forcing persons to take oath to any religion in which they do not follow. Religious groups are also guaranteed the freedom to establish places of education.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.govt.lc/media.govt.lc/www/resources/legislation/ConstitutionOfSaintLucia.pdf|title=Constitution of Santa Lucia|access-date=21 March 2023|website=govt.lc|archive-date=26 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326044229/https://www.govt.lc/media.govt.lc/www/resources/legislation/ConstitutionOfSaintLucia.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
