Religion in Honduras

The predominant religion in Honduras is Christianity, with Catholicism and Evangelicalism being its main denominations. The country is secular and the freedom of religion is enshrined in the nation's constitution.

The pre-Hispanic peoples that lived in actual Honduras were primarily polytheistic Maya, Lencan indigenous religion, and other native groups. In the 16th century, Roman Catholicism was introduced by the Spanish Empire and still holds a large share of the population.
