Most of the Seychelles people about 94 - are
Christians with 82 of them Catholics. The first
human settlers were the French who brought with
themselves the Catholic faith. But there are
also Anglican and Protestant churches and the
places of worship of other denominations.  All of
them live in harmony alongside.

After Christianity, with 2.4 of the total
population, Hinduism is the most practiced
religion in Seychelles.  The increase in
popularity of the religion even made the
Government declare Taippoosam Kavadi Festival a
national holiday for Hindus in 1998.

Islam was brought into Seychelles by Muslim
sea merchants even before the discovery of
tropical island nation. However, due to lack of
permanent inhabitants, the toll of French took
over, and today the amount of Muslims in the
island nation has dropped to roughly 900 people.
