Bangladesh has a multifaceted folk heritage, enriched by its ancient
animist, Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim roots. The state religion of
Bangladesh is Islam and contains the second largest (after Indonesia)
Muslim population in the world. The proportion of Muslims has been
increasing since 1974 and the proportion of Hindu population has been
dropping. The increase in proportion of Muslim population may be
attributed to higher birth rate among the Muslims.
Hinduism is practiced by about 12% of the population, while there are significant numbers of Buddhists in Bangladesh. Bangladesh also has a very small Christian community. The Muslim community in Bangladesh tends to be accommodating to other faiths and beliefs and Bangladesh is known for its lack of communal strife.
