Christians make up the majority of the population.
In spite of resistance by the slave owners, the Christian faith spread rapidly as British Christian abolitionists and educated former slaves joined local Jamaican Christian leaders in the struggle against slavery.
Today, the five largest denominations in Jamaica are: Church of God, Seventh-day Adventist, Baptist, Pentecostal and Anglican.
Other popular religions in Jamaica include Islam, Bahá'í Faith with perhaps 8000 Bahá'ís and 21 Local Spiritual Assemblies, Buddhism, and Hinduism.
There is also a small population of Jews, about 200, who describe themselves as Liberal-Conservative.
The first Jews in Jamaica trace their roots back to early 15th century Spain and Portugal.
Islam in Jamaica estimate a total Muslim population of 50,000.
There are several Islamic organizations and mosques in Jamaica, including the Islamic Council of Jamaica and the Islamic Education and Dawah Center, both located in Kingston and offering classes in Islamic studies and daily prayers in congregation.
