Religion in Trinidad and Tobago

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the largest form of Mormonism) had also expanded its presence in the country in the 1980s and 1990s.

[4] According to the 2011 Census, 33.4% of the population was Protestant (including 12.0% Pentecostal, 5.7% Anglican, 4.1% Seventh-day Adventist, 2.5% Presbyterian or Congregational, 1.2% Baptist, and 0.1% Methodist), 21.6% Roman Catholic, 18.2% Hindu and 5.0% Muslim.

Source:[15] The introduction of Judaism in Trinidad and Tobago dates back to the 17th century, when several Jewish merchants from Suriname settled on the islands in the 1660s, during the time when they were still under Spanish control.

[16] In the 19th century, a small number of Sephardic Jewish families from Curaçao settled in Trinidad but left no trace of an organized community.

[17] In the late 1930s, an estimated 600 East European Jews settled in Trinidad, mainly in Port of Spain, escaping the growth of Nazism in Europe.

After World War II, the majority of Trinidadian Jews migrated to the United States, Israel, and Canada.

[22] Religious groups must register with the government in order to be able to perform marriages, sponsor missionaries, or accept tax-exempt donations.

The government subsidizes religious private schools affiliated with Christian, Muslim, and Hindu groups.
