Religion in Brazil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The predominant religion in Brazil is Christianity, with Catholicism being its largest denomination.
In 1891, when the first Brazilian Republican Constitution was set forth, Brazil ceased to have an official religion and has remained secular ever since, though the Catholic Church remained politically influential into the 1970s. The Constitution of Brazil guarantees freedom of religion and strongly prohibits the establishment of any religion by banning government support or hindrance of religion at all levels.[4]
