Jamaica's newspaper of record reporting the Statistical Institute of Jamaica's own 2011 Population and Housing Census religious-affiliation table, including the parish breakdown (St Andrew, St Catherine) that only the primary census release would carry; the figure is government data at one remove rather than the census volume itself.
