 Hong
Kong is a multicultural city with a multiracial population living in harmony.
Tolerance for the customs and traditions of all religions and ethnic groups
is part of the city's cosmopolitan philosophy. It is only natural that facilities
exist for all in this peaceful and eclectic city. In Hong Kong, everyone
is free to openly worship according to their own beliefs. As most of the
world's religions have places of worship here, any religious group with
special dietary requirements is easily catered for in Hong Kong.
 As
can be expected in a Chinese city, the largest religious communities in
Hong Kong are the Buddhists and Taoists. Hong Kong's colonial history is
reflected in the large and active Christian community. More than 80,000
Hong Kong people are followers of Islam. Other religions are also well represented,
such as Hinduism and Sikhism. The
Jewish Community Centre, meanwhile, has an extensive programme of activities
and associated organisations.
