Brazil's people are 73.6% Roman Catholic, 15.4% Protestant, 1.3% Spiritualist, 0.3% Bantu/Voodoo, 0.2% unspecified, and 7.4% don't have a religion. Most Brazilian Roman Catholics are baptized and married at church yet don't attend weekly mass. Roman Catholicism is the largest religion in the world. It was brought to Brazil from the Portuguese. Roman Catholics believe that the truth is in the Bible. They believe that you can be forgiven for your sins by confessing with assistance from a priest. They believe being baptized justifies someone and is normally done at infancy. They believe in saints. They believe that the pope can't make mistakes about faith and morals. Many Brazilians value and believe in equality for all and fought against Portugal and their rulers to receive it.
