Terme préférentiel

minority religion  

Définition

  • The term minority religion usually refers to a situation in which a segment of the population of a society practices a religious faith different from the majority of the population, which practices what would be called the dominant faith or faiths. But the term minority religion is also a reference to power: In some situations, a minority faith in terms of number of adherents is dominant politically and thus is not considered a “minority religion.” Sometimes most of the population is one faith but has little political power.
