What is kiribati religion?

Kiribati religion is predominantly Christianity, with approximately 96% of the population being Catholic or Protestant. The arrival of Christian missionaries in the 19th century marked a significant shift in the religious landscape of Kiribati. Prior to this, traditional beliefs were centered around ancestral spirits and divinities. Today, many Kiribati practice a syncretic form of Christianity, blending traditional beliefs with Christian practices. The national holiday of Gospel Day is celebrated to commemorate the arrival of Christianity in Kiribati. Traditional rituals such as dance and music also play an important role in Kiribati's religious practices.
