African Religion

Religion is a very important part in an African's life. Each society in Africa has their own religious system with their own set of beliefs and practices. According to Professor Mbiti, all African cultures across the Nation are extremely religious regardless of national origin, language, or ethnicity. Most Africans are Christian or Muslim (Islam), however, traditional religions still play a huge role (Indigenous Religions). This includes Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism. There are also Islamic Religion, They practice their religion in their daily life style, with prayers of gratitude and prayers of supplication. The religions do have some similarities, though. They both believe in one God, ancestral spirits, and sacrificing.

The articles I received this information from was very interesting to me. I never knew exactly what kind of religions were practiced in Africa, and I now know a lot about it. These articles were very helpful, and straight forward with the information. Although, I cannot believe they still practice sacrifices to to ensure protection and generosity. In the picture I have posted below, it shows which religions are practiced in the certain countries of Africa. Most countries practice more than one religion.
