Nepal really needs the Gospel of salvation since Nepal is a secular country and Hinduism is the largest religion. Hinduism is followed by 81.3% of the population, followed by Buddhism at 9%. Small segments of the remaining population follow Islam at 4.4%, Kirat (a sort of animist religion) at 3.1%, and Prakriti (nature worship) 0.5%. Christianity makes up only 1.4% of the population.
