The Main Religion Of Brazil

The reason I did some research on this topic is because Brazil is well known for the "Carnaval" celebration. There is a great deal of debauchery going on during this celebration, and it is a religious celebration. Syncretic or "blended" religions are a contradiction to me. Either we serve the God of the Bible or we don't. The best "blend" known to the human race is Jesus Christ. He is 100% God and 100% human. He did this for a purpose. His ways and thoughts are higher than ours. God is love, therefore His plans are motivated by love. God is perfect, and everything He does is perfect. We are neither love nor perfect. However, He invites us to participate of His nature. And this does not include dancing nearly naked in the street. RD

"There is no official religion, but since about three fourths of Brazilians describe themselves as Roman Catholic and Christian, Brazil has the largest Catholic population in the world. It is estimated, however, that only about two in three rural Brazilian Catholics practice their religion, and in cities only 10 to 15 percent do. As in other parts of the world, some Brazilians are agnostic (uncertain of religious beliefs), and more than 7 percent describe themselves as nonreligious or as atheist (not believing in any gods or spirits). Protestantism, notably Pentecostalism, has grown to include more than 15 percent of the people. Many Brazilians embrace Umbanda (0.2%), Candomblé, and other syncretic (blended) religions that seem to combine elements of Catholicism, West African religions, and even Amerindian religions."
