Christianity has dominated Guatemalan society since its Spanish colonial rule, but the nature of Christian practice in the country has changed in recent decades.

Catholicism was the official religion in Guatemala during the colonial era and currently has a special status under the constitution; though its membership has declined substantially over the last half-century.
