Religion

According to a 2017 estimate, Christianity is the most common religion in Honduras, accounting for 87% of the total population. The country is secular, and religious freedom is guaranteed by the constitution. The pre-Hispanic peoples of Honduras were mostly polytheistic Maya and other native groups. The Spanish Empire introduced Roman Catholicism in the 16th century, and it now accounts for 46% of the population. Protestantism is the religion of 41% of the country's population.

The major religious groups in recent years have been Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Jehovah's Witness, Mennonite, approximately 300 evangelical Protestant groups, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). The Catholic Church in Honduras is divided into eight dioceses, which are part of the Conference Episcopal of Honduras: Tegucigalpa, Comayagua, Choluteca, Olancho, Yoro, San Pedro Sula, Trujillo, and Copán.

Three confederacies govern the Protestant churches in Honduras: the Pastors' Association of Honduras, the Evangelical Brotherhood of Honduras, and the Apostolic Network of Honduras. The "Abundant Life," "Living Love," and "Great Commission Churches" are among the most prominent evangelical churches in the country. A growing number of evangelical churches are not affiliated with any denomination. The evangelical leadership is represented by the National Association of Evangelical Pastors. Muslims and Jews are present in small numbers. Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula both have mosques and synagogues.
