宗教信仰

Religion and belief

香港宗教多元:佛教、道教、基督教、天主教、伊斯蘭教、印度教等並存。《基本法》保障宗教信仰自由。

繁體中文

《基本法》第 32 條保障香港居民有信仰的自由,並保障宗教組織依法享有財產、辦學及社會服務的自由。 佛教同道教係本地傳統信仰嘅主流。寶蓮禪寺(大嶼山)及天壇大佛(1993 年建成)是著名佛教道場;黃大仙祠(1921 年設壇)是香火最盛嘅道教廟宇之一,每年農曆新年上頭炷香是傳統習俗。志蓮淨苑(鑽石山)以仿唐木構建築聞名。 基督教同天主教在香港有超過 170 年歷史,辦學及社會服務網絡龐大。香港聖公會、天主教香港教區等設有大量學校、醫院同社會服務機構。伊斯蘭教有數間清真寺,主要服務本地穆斯林及南亞裔社群。印度教、錫克教等亦有廟宇。 本站只寫有官方或機構來源嘅宗教設施;個別廟宇嘅開放時間同儀式安排以場地公布為準。 華人廟宇委員會按《華人廟宇條例》管理約 24 間華人廟宇,包括黃大仙祠、車公廟、天后廟等,每年公布捐款、香油收入及慈善撥款統計;寺觀廟宇的註冊、土地契約及慈善信託地位,亦由地政總署、民政事務總署按法例處理。此等廟宇營運數據有明確財政年度,目前未在本站逐項列舉。 民政事務局及相關諮詢架構亦有宗教領袖代表的恆常協作機制,但信眾比例、聚會人數等主觀統計因取樣方法差異大、機構間無共識,本站不引用任何非公眾宗教群體比例估算,只列舉法定或已註冊宗教團體的官方架構。 仍未收錄的官方硬數據(全部有明確年度):① 華人廟宇委員會約 24 間廟宇的年度捐款、香油收入、慈善撥款統計 ② 地政總署、民政事務總署註冊的寺觀廟宇、宗教慈善信託的土地契約、註冊數量 ③ 教育局按宗教背景分類的資助學校數量、學生人數 ④ 法定已註冊宗教團體的年度財政申報摘要(如獲免稅的公開部分)。刻意留白:主觀信眾比例估算、民間宗教熱誠調查、未經註冊的小型廟宇一律唔引用。

Article 32 of the Basic Law guarantees freedom of religious belief and protects the property, educational and social-service activities of religious organisations. Buddhism and Taoism are the mainstream traditional faiths. Po Lin Monastery on Lantau and the Tian Tan Buddha (completed 1993) are celebrated Buddhist sites; Wong Tai Sin Temple (altar established 1921) is among the busiest Taoist temples, with the first-incense custom at Lunar New Year. Chi Lin Nunnery at Diamond Hill is famed for its Tang-style timber architecture. Protestantism and Catholicism have more than 170 years of history in Hong Kong, with extensive schools, hospitals and social services. The Anglican province, the Catholic Diocese and others run large education and welfare networks. Islam has several mosques serving local and South Asian Muslim communities; Hindu and Sikh temples also serve their congregations. This site records only religious facilities with official or institutional sources; opening hours and ritual arrangements follow each venue’s own announcements. The Chinese Temples Committee administers around 24 Chinese temples under the *Chinese Temples Ordinance*, including Wong Tai Sin Temple, Che Kung Temple and Tin Hau temples, and publishes donation and offering-income figures together with charitable disbursements each financial year. Temple registrations, land leases and charitable trust status are handled by the Lands Department and the Home Affairs Bureau under law, all with clear fiscal-year timestamps; such temple-operating figures are not yet enumerated item by item here. The Home Affairs Bureau and related advisory bodies also maintain regular liaison mechanisms with religious leaders. But subjective figures such as worshipper shares or congregation attendance vary too widely by sampling method and carry no inter-institutional consensus, so this site cites no non-public religious population estimate and only records statutory or registered religious bodies’ official governance structures. Official hard figures not yet recorded (all carry an explicit year): (1) Chinese Temples Committee around-24-temple annual donation, offering-income and charitable-disbursement statistics; (2) Lands Department / Home Affairs Bureau registered temple and religious-charitable-trust counts and land-lease portfolios; (3) Education Bureau aided-school numbers and pupil rolls classified by religious sponsoring body; (4) statutory registered religious bodies’ annual financial-return summaries (the tax-exempt publicly disclosable portion). Deliberately left blank: subjective worshipper-share estimates, private religious-fervour surveys and unregistered small shrines are deliberately not cited.

Questions this topic answers · 由 /questions 反查:以下已核對問題嘅「延伸頁面」連去呢一頁,答案同可核對數字載於該條問題內

  1. 香港點解咁多南亞人? 人口、語文與自然 · 答案見 /questions#why-so-many-south-asians

    先要分清:香港人數最多的非華裔社群其實是菲律賓及印尼籍人士(多為家庭傭工);南亞裔(印度、尼泊爾、巴基斯坦裔)人數較少,但歷史更早,最早一批隨英治政府來港。

    First, a correction: the largest non-Chinese communities are Filipinos and Indonesians, mostly domestic helpers. South Asians — Indian, Nepali and Pakistani communities — are smaller but older, arriving with the colonial administration.

  2. 香港有什麼主要宗教?寺廟、教堂、清真寺分佈如何? 文化、飲食與日常 · 答案見 /questions#hong-kong-religion-temples-diversity

    香港宗教多元。華人主要信奉佛教、道教與民間信仰(天后、觀音、關帝、黃大仙、車公);基督教(天主教、基督教不同宗派)、伊斯蘭教、印度教、錫克教、猶太教亦有悠久歷史。古物古蹟辦事處宗教建築評級名錄有超過 600 項登記。

    Hong Kong is religiously diverse. Most Chinese residents practise Buddhism, Taoism or Chinese folk beliefs (Tin Hau, Guanyin, Kwan Tai, Wong Tai Sin, Che Kung); Christianity (Catholic and many Protestant denominations), Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and Judaism also have long histories. The AMO religious building grading list records over 600 entries.

  3. 點解網站冇獨立音樂、地下劇團同 KOL 生態記錄? 文化、飲食與日常 · 答案見 /questions#why-no-indie-underground-culture

    獨立音樂、地下劇團、KOL 生態等當代非主流文化,缺乏統一官方點算同認證,涉及即時變動同民間聲音,唔符合「凡數字必有官方來源與時點」原則,因此刻意留白。

    Indie music, underground theatre and KOL ecosystems are contemporary non-mainstream culture without unified official counts or certification, involving real-time change and grassroots voices, which do not meet the rule that every figure must carry an official source and date. They are deliberately left out.
