===Religion=== {{Main|Religion in Paraguay}} Christianity, particularly [[Catholicism]], is the dominant religion in Paraguay.<ref>{{cite web |title= PROLADES Religion in America by country |website=Programa Latinoamericano de Estudios Sociorreligiosos (PROLADES) (prolades.com) |trans-title=The Latin American Socio-Religious Studies Program |url=http://www.prolades.com/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180112003048/http://www.prolades.com/ |archive-date=12 January 2018}}</ref> According to the 2002 census, 89.9% of the population was Catholic, 6.2% was [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical Protestant]], 1.1% identified with other Christian sects, and 0.6% practiced indigenous religions. A U.S. State Department report on Religious Freedom names Catholicism, evangelical Protestantism, mainline Protestantism, Judaism (Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform), [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], and the [[Baháʼí Faith]] as prominent religious groups. It also mentions a large Muslim community in [[Alto Paraná]] (as a result of Middle-Eastern immigration, especially from [[Lebanon]]) and a prominent Mennonite community in Boquerón.<ref name="state1">{{cite report |title=Paraguay religion |date=14 September 2007 |website=[[U.S. State Department]] (state.gov) |url=https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2007/90263.htm |url-status=live |access-date=2 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728054606/https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2007/90263.htm |archive-date=28 July 2020}}</ref>
