The U.S. Department of State's 2020 International Religious Freedom Report on Haiti, published May 12, 2021, relaying a 2017 government survey finding that 3 percent of the population formally identifies as Vodou, against the estimate of representatives of the National Confederation of Haitian Vodou (KNVA) that more than half the population practices Vodou, generally alongside Catholicism or Protestantism rather than as an exclusive identification.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
The annual U.S. government report on religious freedom conditions in Haiti, relaying a 2017 government survey figure and, separately, the National Confederation of Haitian Vodou (KNVA)'s own leadership estimate; a credible institutional secondary account of two named counts rather than the department's own fielded survey. The state.gov original did not return readable text; this citation instead relies on its ecoi.net mirror. Citation
