Religion in Houston
The city of Houston which historically was centered on Protestant Christianity, is now home to many different religions owing to its large ethnic diverse population.
According to a 2014 study by the Pew Research Center, 73% of the population of the city identified themselves as Christians, with 50% professing attendance at a variety of churches that could be considered Protestant, and 19% professing Roman Catholic beliefs.〔(Major U.S. metropolitan areas differ in their religious profiles ), Pew Research Center〕 while 20% claim no religious affiliation. The same study says that other religions (including Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism) collectively make up about 7% of the population. However another study shows that conversion to Protestant Christianity in Houston is the highest in the nation, with newcomers to the city are 70% more likely to become born-again Christians within 3 years of living in the city.

Christianity is the most prevalently practiced religion in Houston (73%).〔(Major U.S. metropolitan areas differ in their religious profiles ), Pew Research Center〕 Kate Shellnut of the ''Houston Chronicle'' described Houston as a "heavily Christian city".〔Shellnut, Kate.
