There are some moslem and Christians in the island.
But I think what you asking here is Hindu.
Majority of Balinese are Hindu, known as "Agama Hindu Dharma".
Formely they call it "Agama Tirta". Now in Hinduism 'nature' is viewed as power it self and each of this elements is believe as a subject of spirit which they believe must be provided with a offering made of local coconut leaf. No they don't give money like churches does or rice like moslem does, but they "SAJEN" or offering is mixed in local agricultural product. amI good or what...??? ha..ha.!
Good luck,pal.
