What are the predominant religions in the Philippines?

Answer 1

Major Religions in the Philippines are Catholics, Protestants, Iglesia ni Cristo, Aglipayansand Muslims.

• Catholic 75,000,000
• Protestant 9,000,000
• Iglesia ni Cristo 7,000,000
• Aglipayan 6,000,000
• Muslim 5,000,000

Christianity and Islam have been superimposed on ancient traditions and acculturated. The unique religious blends that have resulted, when combined with the strong personal faith of Filipinos, have given rise to numerous and diverse revivalist movements. Generally characterised by anti-modern bias, supernaturalism, and authoritarianism in the person of a charismatic messianic figure, these movements have attracted thousands of Filipino people, especially in areas like Mindanao, which have been subjected to extreme pressure of change over a short period of time. Many have been swept up in these movements, out of a renewed sense of fraternity and community. Like the highly visible examples of flagellation and reenacted crucifixion in the Philippines, these movements may seem to have little in common with organised Christianity or Islam. In the intensely personalistic Philippine religious context, however, these are less aberrations and more of extreme examples of religion's retaining its central role in society.
