Religion

Michigan features a diverse religious landscape, reflecting its history of immigration and internal migration.

* **Christianity:** The majority faith, with a large Catholic presence (especially in Metro Detroit and historical French/Polish communities) alongside robust Protestant denominations (including historical Dutch Reformed communities in West Michigan like Grand Rapids and Holland). * **Islam:** Metro Detroit, particularly the city of Dearborn, is home to one of the largest and most concentrated Arab American and Muslim populations in the United States, centered around institutions like the Islamic Center of America. * **Judaism:** A prominent Jewish community exists in the Metro Detroit suburbs (such as West Bloomfield and Oak Park), supported by numerous synagogues, schools, and cultural centers. * **Other Faiths:** The state also holds active Hindu, Sikh, and Buddhist communities, particularly near university towns and tech corridors.
