Christianity is the predominant religion in Paraguay, with Catholicism being its largest denomination. Before the arrival of Spanish missionaries, the people residing in the territory of modern day Paraguay practiced a variety of religions.[2]
Paraguay is often classified as the most religious country in South America.[3] However, the state is officially secular, and freedom of religion is guaranteed by its constitution.[4]
