U.S.
Department of State Human Rights Report 1998
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion and prohibits discrimination
based on religion. The government respects this right in practice.
Buddhism is the state religion and over 95 percent of the population
is Buddhist. Most of the remainder is made up of ethnic Cham Muslims,
who generally are well integrated into society and face no reported
persecution.
The Khmer Rouge have traditionally banned or discouraged religion,
and continued to do so.
