[[Hindu]]s formed the second-largest religious group in Suriname, comprising 22.3 percent of the population,<ref name="CENSUS2012"/> the third largest proportion of any country in the Western Hemisphere after Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. Almost all practitioners of Hinduism are found among the Indo-Surinamese population. [[Muslim]]s constitute 13.9 percent of the population, which is proportionally the largest in the Americas, and are found mostly among those of Javanese and to a lesser degree those of Indian descent.<ref name="CENSUS2012"/>▼

Other religious groups include [[Winti]], an [[Afro-American religion]] practiced mostly by those of Maroon ancestry; [[Javanism]], a syncretic faith found among some Javanese Surinamese; and various indigenous folk traditions that are often incorporated into one of the larger religions (usually Christianity).
