The different
types of religion in Malaysia reflects the variety of races living
there. Islam is the official religion but Buddhism,
Hinduism, Christianity and other religions are practiced
freely.
Islam is
practiced predominantly by the Malays. Most of the Chinese believe
in Buddhism and Taoism but others are Christians. Hinduism is
mostly practiced by the region's Indian population. Many indigenous
people have converted to Christianity but others still practiced
animism.
