Editing Demographics of Grenada (section)

==Religion==
Historically the religious makeup of the islands of Grenada covers the period from first European occupation in the 17th century.  This has always been predominantly Christian and largely Roman Catholic (due to the first occupants being French) and from the 1891 census we get a snapshot of the population and its religious proclivities - over half were Roman Catholic (55%), a third were Church of England (36%), others listed were Wesleyan (6%) and Presbyterian (0.88%).

More recently, according to the government's 2011 information, 85.2% percent of the population of Grenada is considered [[Christianity|Christian]], 7.7% is non-Christian and 7% has no religious belief. Roughly one third of Christians are [[Roman Catholics]] (36% of the total population), a reflection of early French influence on the island, and one half are [[Protestant]] (49.2%).

[[Anglicanism]] constitutes the largest Protestant group, with about 11.5% of the population. [[Pentecostals]] are the second largest group (about 11.3%), followed by [[Seventh-day Adventists]] (approximately 10.5% of the population).  Other estimates include [[Baptists]] (2.9%), Church of God (2.6%), [[Methodists#Caribbean|Methodists]] (1.8%), [[Evangelicalism|Evangelicals]] (1.6%) [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] (1.1%), and [[Brethren Christian]] (0.5%).

The number of non-Christians is small. These religious groups include the [[Rastafarian Movement]] (1.1% of the population), [[Hinduism in the West Indies|Hinduism]] (0.2%) and [[Muslims]] (0.3%).
