Religion in Cambodia

context: zh_tw: 在公元五世紀以前，佛教在柬埔寨已經存在，而上座部佛教一直是柬埔寨國教自公元 13 世紀至今（除了紅色高棉期間），目前估計信仰人口有 97％的宗教。柬埔寨的佛教歷史跨越了兩千多年，歷經了幾個連續的王國和帝國。佛教透過兩個不同的方式傳入柬埔寨。佛教最早傳入的形式，是與印度教一同影響柬埔寨，由印度商人傳入扶南王國。第二次影響是在高棉帝國時期。在高棉歷史上的第一個千年時期，柬埔寨由信奉印度教的國王統治，中間也有信仰佛教國王的出現，如 Jayavarman 一世和 Suryvarman 一世。
en: Buddhism has existed in Cambodia since at least the 5th century AD, with some sources placing its origin as early as the 3rd century BC. Theravada Buddhism has been the Cambodian state religion since the 13th century AD (excepting the Khmer Rouge period), and is currently estimated to be the religion of 96.9% of the population.The history of Buddhism in Cambodia spans nearly two thousand years, across a number of successive kingdoms and empires. Buddhism entered Cambodia through two different streams. The earliest forms of Buddhism, along with Hindu influences, entered the Funan kingdom with Hindu merchants. In later history, a second stream of Buddhism entered Khmer culture during the Angkor empire when Cambodia absorbed the various Buddhist traditions of the Mon kingdoms of Dvaravati and Haripunchai.

context: zh_tw: 基督宗教第一次在柬埔寨傳教是在 1555-1556 年由葡萄牙道明會傳教士 Gaspar da Cruz 至柬埔寨地區，但幾乎沒人受洗成為基督徒。19 世紀法國殖民時期，基督宗教在該國影響力還是很小。1972 年，柬埔寨大概有兩萬名基督徒，其中大部分屬於羅馬天主教。在 1970 年和 1971 年遣返越南之前，柬埔寨可能有多達 6.2 萬名基督徒居住。在 1970 年和 1971 年遣返越南之前，柬埔寨可能有多達 6.2 萬名基督徒居住。據梵蒂岡統計，1953 年柬埔寨羅馬天主教會信徒達 12 萬人，成為當時的第二大宗教；估計約有 5 萬名天主教基督徒是越南人。
en: The first known Christian mission in Cambodia was undertaken by Gaspar da Cruz, a Portuguese member of the Dominican Order, in 1555-1556. According to his own account, the enterprise was a complete failure; he found the country run by a "Bramene" king and "Bramene" officials, and discovered that "the Bramenes are the most difficult people to convert". He felt that no one would dare to convert without the King's permission, and left the country in disappointment, not having "baptized more than one gentile whom I left in the grave".Despite the French colonization in the 19th century, Christianity made little impact in the country. In 1972 there were probably about 20,000 Christians in Cambodia, most of whom were Roman Catholics. Before the repatriation of the Vietnamese in 1970 and 1971, possibly as many as 62,000 Christians lived in Cambodia. According to Vatican statistics, in 1953, members of the Roman Catholic Church in Cambodia numbered 120,000, making it at the time, the second largest religion; estimates indicate that about 50,000 Catholics were Vietnamese. Many of the Catholics remaining in Cambodia in 1972 were Europeans – chiefly French; and still, among Catholic Cambodians are whites and Eurasians of French descent. Steinberg reported, also in 1953, that an American Unitarian mission maintained a teacher-training school in Phnom Penh, and Baptist missions functioned in Battambang and Siem Reap provinces. A Christian and Missionary Alliance mission was founded in Cambodia in 1923; by 1962 the mission had converted about 2,000 people.
