The Philippines is the fifth-largest Christian nation, after the United States, Brazil, Mexico, and Russia.[citation needed] About 85% of all Filipinos are Christians: 80% belong to the Roman Catholic Church, and about 5% belong to various Protestant and other Christian denominations.[3] Although Christianity is a major force in the culture of the Filipinos, indigenous traditions and rituals still affect religious practice.

Approximately 15% of Filipinos are Muslim.[3] They primarily live in parts of Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago. Most lowland Muslim Filipinos practice normative Islam, although the practices of some Mindanao's hill tribe Muslims reflect a fusion with animism. The Muslims have resisted conquest and conversion for centuries by the Spanish and the Americans. Various Muslim groups have been waging a decades-long armed campaign against the Philippine government for political self-determination.

There are also small populations of Buddhists, Hindus, and Jews.
