Laos is approximately 66% Theravada Buddhist, which roughly falls along [[ethnic]] lines with the majority of practitioners being [[Lao people|Lao Loum]]. The remainder is largely [[animist]], following their unique ethnic traditions and practices. Even among the [[Lao people|Lao Loum]] there is a high degree of [[syncretism]] with most Lao acknowledging the traditional [[animist]] traditions known collectively as "[[Satsana Phi|satsana phi]]". Other religions are in the minority including [[Islam]] and [[Christianity]] and represent a combined total of less than 2% of the population.
