Raleigh is a notably religiously diverse city within North Carolina’s “Bible Belt,” where Christianity remains the dominant faith—particularly Baptist (14.1%), Methodist (5.6%), and Roman Catholic (4.2%) congregations—alongside Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Latter-Day Saints, and various non-denominational communities. Smaller but significant groups practicing Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and other world religions collectively contribute to the city’s rich religious mosaic. The Catholic Diocese, United Methodist Conference, Episcopal Diocese, and Presbyterian Presbytery are all headquartered here, emphasizing Raleigh’s importance as a spiritual hub in eastern North Carolina.
