Buddhism is the dominant faith on the island, with about 70 per cent of the population claiming to follow its tenets. Buddhism is recognised as having the ‘foremost place’ in the constitution, but other faiths are tolerated. About 12 per cent of the country follows Hinduism, nine per cent Islam and seven per cent Christianity.
