| dbo:abstract |
According to 2020 government statistics, Christian groups form about 96% of the Kiribati population by census counts, most of whom are either Catholic or members of the new Kiribati Uniting Church (redenominated in 2015) and Kiribati Protestant Church. Persons with no religious affiliation account for about 0.03% of the population. Members of the Catholic Church are concentrated in the northern islands, while Protestants are the majority in the southern islands. Missionaries introduced Christianity into the area in the mid-19th century. The Rev. Samuel James Whitmee, of the London Missionary Society, visited the islands in 1870. Missionaries continue to be present and operate freely. The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the government generally respects this right. Societal abuses or discrimination based on religious belief or practice occur, but are relatively infrequent. (en) |
