}}

The vast majority of people on Huadao are members of the [[Catholic Church]]. The initial settler makeup of Huadao provided an early Catholic majority, given the primarily Urcean descent of the people living on the island, and in this context many of the arriving immigrant workers from the [[Audonia]]n mainland and elsewhere adapted to the majority religious belief on the island. A small number retained their ancestral religion, including both Muslims and adherents of Daxian historic folk religion and ancestor worship. Due to the [[Daxia#Religion|20th century religious persecutions in Daxia]], a small handful of families of Daxian ancestry have preserved a number of ancient Daxian religious traditions in Huadao that have been otherwise non-observible by Occidental religious scholars. Catholic and Christian Daxians fleeing persecution have also settled on the island historically, contributing to its Christian majority.

Many people on Huadao retain defined ethnic and ancestral heritages. People self-identifying as ethnically Urcean make up around 65% of the population, with ethnic Daxians, Veltorines, and Derians making up the largest remaining shares. Beginning in the year [[1980]], people have identified themselves as Huadaoic specifically rather than any foreign ethnic background, and the Huadaoic figure has steadily increased by decade, up to 14% in [[2030]]. Most people who self-identify as Huadaoic are typically mixed race, usually Urcean and East Audonian. Many demographers and cultural observers believe that Huadaoic identity will comprise the majority of the island's permanent residents by [[2070]], though a minority position states the constant influx of Urcean military personnel will maintain Urcean identity on the island for decades to come. Most Huadaoic people identify as being within the [[Urcean_people#Late_Urceanization|greater Urceanized identity sphere]] and [[Culture of Urcea|culture]] even if they do not ethnically identify as Urcean.
