    Close to 80% of South Africa's population adheres to the Christian faith. Other major religious groups include the Hindus, Muslims and Jews. A minority of South Africa's population does not belong to any of the major religions, but regard themselves as traditionalists or of no specific religious affiliation.

    Freedom of worship is guaranteed by the Constitution, and official policy is one of non-interference in religious practices.
