The Religions of Cambodia

Theravada Buddhism is practiced by over 90 percent of Cambodia's population, and is also the major religion in other Southeast Asian nations.

Buddhism arrived in Cambodia during the first centuries A.D.  Mahayana Buddhism was the dominant religion but was slowly replaced by Theravada after the 14th century.  During the Khmer Rouge era (1975-1979), most of Cambodia's Buddhist monks were murdered and most of the wats were destroyed.

Other religions to be found in Cambodia include Islam and Catholicism.
