Roughly one-in-seven Asian Americans are Buddhist (14%) and one-in-ten are Hindu (10%). The remainder consists of Muslims, Sikhs, Jains and followers of numerous other faiths.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asian Americans are more religiously diverse than the U.S. population as a whole, which is overwhelmingly Christian (75%). There also are substantial differences in religious affiliation among the largest subgroups of Asian Americans by country of origin. <a
