Its population consists of 70% [[Roman Catholic]] Christians, 15% Non-Catholic [[Christians]] (including [[Baptists]], [[Evangelicals]], [[Iglesia ni Cristo]], [[Members Church of God International]], [[Aglipayan]], [[Jesus Is Lord]], and others), 10% [[Muslims]], 3% Chinese [[Buddhists]], and 2% [[Sikhs]].

A considerable number of the population are descended from Indian soldiers who mutinied against the British Army when the British briefly occupied the Philippines in 1762 to 1763. These Indian soldiers called [[Sepoy]] were [[Tamil people]] from [[Chennai]] and settled in town and intermarried with native women. The Sepoy ancestry of Cainta is still very visible to this day, particularly in Barrio Dayap near Barangay Sto. Niño.<ref>{{Harvnb|Fish|2003|p=158}}</ref>{{clear left}}
