Religion in Rwanda
The most recent statistics on religion in Rwanda were published by the US Government in 2013, yet the source information dates back to the national Census of 2002, which reports that: 56.9% of the Rwanda's population is Roman Catholic, 26% is Protestant, 11.1% is Seventh-day Adventist, 4.6% is Muslim (mainly Sunni), 1.7% claims no religious affiliation, and 0.1% practices traditional indigenous beliefs.〔International Religious Freedom Report, 2013: Rwanda, United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/222297.pdf. AND International Religious Freedom Report, 2011: Rwanda, United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/192958.pdf. Retrieved 2014-08-20.

The figures for Protestants include the growing number of members of Jehovah's Witnesses (36,000 in 2013) and evangelical Protestant groups.〔 There is also a small population of Baha'is. There has been a proliferation of small, usually Christian-linked schismatic religious groups since the 1994 genocide.〔
==Current context==
Foreign missionaries and church-linked nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) of various religious groups operate in the country.〔 Foreign missionaries openly promote their religious beliefs, and the Government welcomes their development assistance.〔
The Constitution of Rwanda provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice.〔 Local government officials sometimes detain Jehovah's Witnesses for refusing to participate in security patrols.〔 In 2007, the US government received no reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious belief or practice.〔
