Religion in Costa Rica
The most recent nationwide survey of religion in Costa Rica, conducted in 2007 by the University of Costa Rica, found that 70.5% of the population identify themselves as Roman Catholics (with 44.9% practicing, 25.6 percent nonpracticing), 13.8% are Evangelical Protestants, 11.3% report that they do not have a religion, and 4.3% declare that they belong to another religion.〔(International Religious Freedom Report 2008: Costa Rica ).

== Religious presence ==
Apart from the dominant Catholic religion, there are several other religious groups in the country.〔 Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Baptist, and other Protestant groups have significant membership.〔 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) claim more than 35,000 members and has a temple in San Jose that served as a regional worship center for Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, and Honduras.〔〔(Costa Rica ). LDS Newsroom. Retrieved 2008-12-13.〕 There are also approximately 2,500 members of the Jewish faith.〔https://www.kintera.org/site/apps/nlnet/content.aspx?c=twI6LmN7IzF&b=5698175&ct=9025819〕
Although they represent less than 1 percent of the population, Jehovah's Witnesses have a strong presence on the Caribbean coast.〔 Seventh-day Adventists operate a university that attracts students from throughout the Caribbean Basin.〔 The Unification Church maintains it's continental headquarters for Latin America in San Jose.〔
Other religious groups, including followers of Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Taoism, Hare Krishna, Paganism, Wicca, Scientology, Tenrikyo, and the Bahá'í Faith, claim membership throughout the country, with the majority of worshipers residing in the Central Valley (the area of the capital).〔 While there is no general correlation between religion and ethnicity, indigenous peoples are more likely to practice animism than other religions.〔(International Religious Freedom Report 2008: Costa Rica ). United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (September 14, 2007)〕〔(Buddhism in Costa Rica by Terrence Johnson, The Costa Rican News, August 5, 2012 )〕
