When Columbus set foot on West Indies, now known as the Caribbean. I wrote "set foot" because Columbus did not discover the Caribbean. It was already populated when he went there. The Spanish kingdom established in the Caribbean a political system called the "Encomienda system" where they employed governors over the Caribbean lands. They were called "conquistadores". One of their many responsibilities was to convert the indigenous population to Christianity.
In the caribbean, such a system was set up in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hispanola and Trinidad.

Hinduism came to the Caribbean with the migration of Indian workers to that area after the abolition of Slavery in 1834. Along with Hinduism, the Indians also brought cuisine, such as pungent curries, and ganja, which are important contributions to Caribbean culture. While Indian and Hindu influence can be found through out the British West Indies they are most pronounced on the island of Trinidad.
If my memory serves me right from back in high school, Christianity would have been introduced into the Caribbean when the Spanish invaded looking for gold. They called the Amerindians savages and claimed that they had no religion and forced Catholicism on to them. How different types of Christianity found their way down here I don't know but I'm pretty sure Catholicism was the first type of Christianity to be introduced

The natives of the Caribbean had their own religion and culture. The invading imperialists imposed their religion on the inhabitants. The imperialists then populated the lands with slaves who were forcibly converted to Christianity. The later trading of indentured labour brought with it the religions of India and China.
Christianity was introduced by Spanish settlers when they arrived in Jamaica in1509. Christianity originated in different forms or versions over several centuries.
