    I was interested in Romani religion too… Check it out.

    Most Romani are Christian,[277] but many are Muslims; some retained their ancient faith of Hinduism from their original homeland of India, while others have their own religion and political organization.[278] In parts of Southeast Europe, particularly in Bulgaria, some Roma who are Muslim identify as ethnic Turks, and over generations have adopted the Turkish language.[279] Theravada Buddhism influenced by the Dalit Buddhist movement have become popular in recent times among Hungarian Roma.[71][72] Some Roma practice witchcraft and palmistry.[280]

    Elsewhere it states this is because the Romani often chose to convert to the major religion of the area, as many other peoples did.
