Protestants account for 50 percent of the population, ('''Evangelicals''' 17.5 percent, '''Anglicans''' 7.5 percent, '''Pentecostals''' 21.9 percent and other Christians an additional 8.5 percent). '''Roman Catholics''' represent nearly 40 percent of the population, served by the province of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Maseru and his three suffragans (the bishops of Leribe, Mohale's Hoek and Qacha's Nek), who also form the national episcopal conference. Non-Christian religions represent only 1.5% of the population, and those of no religion 3.5%. | The population of Lesotho is estimated to be more than 95 percent Christian.
