Is there religious freedom and religious tolerance in Nicaragua?
Valeria Espinoza - Gran Pacifica
Yes, there is religious freedom and religious tolerance in Nicaragua. Even inside my family we have different religions and we do respect each other.
More than 80 percent of the population of Nicaragua belongs to Christian groups. Roman Catholicism remains the dominant religion. According to the 2005 census by the government's Nicaraguan Institute of Statistics and Census, 58.5 percent of the population was Catholic and 21.6...

More than 80 percent of the population of Nicaragua belongs to Christian groups. Roman Catholicism remains the dominant religion. According to the 2005 census by the government's Nicaraguan Institute of Statistics and Census, 58.5 percent of the population was Catholic and 21.6 percent was evangelical Protestant, a category that included Assemblies of God, Pentecostals, Mennonites, and Baptists.
Now, there are also some English services offered in Managua and Granada. Make sure to check on that during your visit, I'm sure you will feel comfortable.

There is religious freedom in Nicaragua. I do not see that anybody discriminates against anyone else because of their difference in religion. There are families of Muslim descent here and there are Catholics, and no one seems to have a problem. (Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Granada, Nicaragua, pictured.)

There is religious freedom in Nicaragua, which is protected under the constitution of Nicaragua, so you are free to practice any religion that you wish as long as it is not harmful to other people. Nicaraguans are tolerant of other religions. Most people in Nicaragua, however, are Catholic.
In Nicaragua, there are a lot of Evangelical Protestants, who comprise about 21% of the population. 59% of the population is Roman Catholic so that makes up for most of the people here....

Then it breaks up to about 2% Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1% for other religions, and 15% of the population have no religion.

Nicaragua is a very religious country that is predominantly Catholic. There are strong roots of Catholicism in Nicaragua, as well as a lot of Christian movements in Nicaragua in the past 10 years. There are a lot of missionaries and a lot of missionary teams visiting here, too.We also have other religions present in Nicaragua. Freedom of religion is very well protected in Nicaragua even if you are not a Christian or a Catholic.

There is 100% religious freedom and tolerance in Nicaragua. I believe they passed that law in ’96 that guaranteed complete religious freedom. I mean, we don’t have a huge Muslim population here, perhaps about 500. We have Evangelical, Mormons, Catholic, Protestant, everything—it’s total freedom of religion
In addition to the law, Nicaraguans are very tolerant of other religions.
