In South Korea the predominant religions are Buddhism and Christianity, but a large group of the population (56.1%) are not religious. Korean Confucianism has  strongly influenced both faiths. According to the results of the 2015 census, 27.6% of South Koreans are Christian (Protestant 19.7%, Roman Catholic 7.9%), 15.5% are Buddhist and others adhere to various minority religions including Jeungsanism, Daesun Jinrihoe, Cheondoism, Taoism, Confucianism and Won Buddhism. A smaller minority of Koreans also profess Islam. Note however, that the accuracy of the 2015 census has been questioned due to the survey methodology. The census was mainly conducted through the internet and was limited to a sample of about 20% of the country's population. It has been argued that the census penalised the rural population, which is more Buddhist and Catholic and less familiar with the internet, while advantaging the Protestant population, which is more urban and has easier access to the internet. The census also did not count practitioners of the country's native religion (Shindo).
