Roman Catholicism is the country's predominant faith. Brazil has the world's largest Catholic population. According to the 2000 Demographic Census (the PNAD survey does not inquire about religion), 73.57% of the population followed Roman Catholicism; 15.41% Protestantism; 1.33% Kardecist spiritism; 1.22% other Christian denominations; 0.31% Afro-Brazilian religions; 0.13% Buddhism; 0.05% Judaism; 0.02% Islam; 0.01% Amerindian religions; 0.59% other religions, undeclared or undetermined; while 7.35% have no religion.
However, in the last ten years Protestantism, particularly Pentecostal Protestantism, has risen, while the proportion of Catholics has dropped sharply. Soon after Protestantism, Irreligion also have had a rise in Brazil, almost approximating itself to the 10% (which will means circa 19 million people) in the census. Boa Vista and Rio de Janeiro counts with the greatest proportional numbers of irreligiosity in Brazil as the state capital and federative unit, respectively.
