Religion in New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Religion in New Zealand encompasses a wide range of groups and beliefs. New Zealand has no state religion and freedom of religion has been protected since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.[2]
Almost half (48.6 per cent) of New Zealanders stated they had no religion in the 2018 census and 6.7 per cent made no declaration. Christianity remains the most popular religion; 37.3 per cent of the population at the 2018 census identified as Christian, with Anglican being the largest religious affiliation, just ahead of "Christian not further defined," Roman Catholic, and, grouped together, 'Presbyterian, Congregational and Reformed'.[1]
