ABSTRACT
In the theoretical framework of interreligious relations, an important concept is religious dominance. This chapter analyzes Christian dominance by using the respective concept and the comparative mixed methods strategy for the nation of Suriname and Guyana. A distinction is made between Christian dominance between 1900 and 1950 and from 1950 to 2014. Key findings show that in these periods Guyana and Suriname experienced a shift from dominance of traditional Christians to increased influence by Evangelicals, but with differences in particular in the ideological and institutional dimensions of religious dominance.
