Religious affiliation changes in El Salvador 2004-2020, by religion

The figures for Catholic and Evangelic believers in El Salvador show opposite trends, according to a survey conducted in the country between 2004 and 2019. Until 2006, Catholic believers made up more than half the population, while evangelicals totaled 28.9 percent in that year. However, it is estimated that by 2020 those figures would become quite close, with 40.6 percent of Salvadoran identifying themselves as Catholics and 38.53 percent as Evangelicals. The share of those without a religion also reached the highest estimated figure in 2020, with 18.47 percent. A similar movement was observed in another Latin American country, Brazil, with Evangelicals growing in number while Catholics declined.
