There is freedom of religion in Guinea, but Islam is demographically, socially, and culturally the dominant religion. About 85% of the population is Muslim, 10% follow various Christian faiths, and 5% hold traditional indigenous beliefs. Muslims in the country generally adhere to the Sunni branch of Islam. Among the Christian groups, there are Roman Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventist, and evangelical churches active in the country and recognized by the Government. There is a small Baha'i community. There are small numbers of Hindus, Buddhists, and practitioners of traditional Chinese religions among the expatriate community. Very few citizens in Guinea are Atheist.
