Caribbean Religions


When it comes to religion, the Caribbean is dominated by Christianity. From the religions of slaves and indentured servants to styles developed on the islands themselves, the Caribbean is full of a vibrant variety of faiths.

Christianity is the dominant religious style in the region, but local religions also play an important role in the Caribbean. Many of the Caribbean-born slaves were indoctrinated into Christianity.

In fact, the end of slavery helped encourage some religious diversity in the islands. Rastafarianism is Christianity with a distinctly Caribbean style.

The many distinct religions in the Caribbean can be divided into Christianity, Afro-Caribbean Creolized religions and East Indian religions.

Atheism

Atheism is the absence of belief in any Gods. Atheists don't use God to explain the existence of the universe.

Atheists say that human beings can devise suitable moral codes to live by without the aid of Gods. People are atheist for many reasons, among them:

1. They find insufficient evidence to support any religion.

2. They think that religion is nonsensical.

3. Religion doesn't interest them.

4. Religion doesn't seem relevant to their lives.
