The Dom people tend to adopt the dominant religion of their host country. For the Middle Eastern countries this means Islam. To find Dom on the annual pilgrimage to Mecca is not unusual. While there are some devote Muslims among the Dom, the majority are only nominal Muslims. They consider religion a personal matter and are hesitant to talk about it with anyone.
Spiritism is dominant in their thinking regarding why things happen in the world.
The fear of possession and cursing is strongly held. Nawar fortune-tellers commonly offer to make their clients a potion that will ward him or her against curses. There are very few known Christians among the Dom. One young man spoke about the isolation that Dom feel when they become followers of Jesus. As a result of accepting the Christian faith they may find themselves outcasts from their own families as well as from the predominantly Islamic environment in which they live.
