General briefing: Chile

Since democracy was restored to Chile in 1990, human rights, including freedom of religion or belief (FoRB), have been generally respected. The 2012 census found that 66% of the population identified as Catholic and 17% as Protestant. The constitution contains protection for FoRB and a 1999 law prohibits discrimination based on religion. In recent years, the government has engaged with religious minorities and worked to improve understanding of and strengthen protections for FoRB.
