Most people - 99% - in Tibet follow the Tibetan Buddhist religion. There are four denominations of Tibetan Buddhism. The largest of these is the Gelug denomination; the other three (in no particular order) are Kagyu, Nyingma, and Sakya. In addition, there are also some Christian and Islamic communities, as well as remnants of Bon, an indigenous religion. Following the Chinese occupation/incorporation in 1950, religion has been discouraged, making it difficult to get accurate statistics.
