European religions began with the Dutch Reformed and after the British takeover it was Dutch Reformed and Church of England which evolved to include any Trinitarian form of Christianity. With time and greater tolerance from governments most religions were found to be acceptable. Today all world religions are welcomed and most are openly practiced.
