Mexico is a secular country, having no official religion. However, it is Roman Catholic in its majority: Christmas is a national holiday and during Easter most people leave for vacations. Other Catholic religious days such as January 6 (Epiphany) or December 12 (Our Lady of Guadalupe, saint patron of Mexico) are observed by many people.

Following are some estimates for religion practices in Mexico:

  • Roman Catholic: 88% (98.6 million)
  • Pentecostal and Neopentecostal (Protestant): 1.62% (1.8 million)
  • Other Protestant: 2.87% (3.2 million)
  • Jehovah's Witnesses: 1.25 % (2.2 million attendance at just one meeting in 2011)
  • "Historical" Protestants: 0.71% (0.8 million)
  • Seventh-day Adventists: 0.58% (0.6 million)
  • Latter-day Saints Mormons: 0.25% (0.3 million)
  • Jewish: 0.05% (56,000)
  • Other religions (including Islam and Buddhism): 0.31% (0.3 million)
  • Unspecified: 0.85% (0.9 million)
  • Nonreligious: 3.53% (3.95 million)

Note: Because of rounding, percentages may not add up to 100% (or 112 million, the population of Mexico).

Muslims in Mexico:

Islam religion arrived in Mexico with either Lebanese or Syrian immigrants and some other Middle Easterners like Egyptians, Iranians, and Turks. According to the 2010 census conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) there were 3,760 Muslims in the country (that means less than 1% of total Mexico population).
