Topping our list of the most religious Catholic countries with the highest church attendance in the world is Brazil. The Catholic Church is deeply involved in Brazilian culture, beliefs, and institutions. Its presence dates back to the Portuguese conquest in the 16th century, and it has remained the predominant religion ever since. In fact, the Catholic Church is the largest denomination in Brazil, with over 126 million people, or 65% of the Brazilian population, identifying as Catholics in the latest available data. This made Brazil the country with the world’s largest Catholic community. According to recent survey data, approximately 40% of Brazilians attend Masses at least once a month. Additionally, nearly 75% pray daily, but only 12% actively participate in Church-related activities, and just 26% describe themselves as very religious.
