-
Islam - Predominantly found in North and West Africa. It is practiced in various forms, including Sunni and Shia sects.
-
Traditional African Religions - These are indigenous belief systems that vary greatly among different ethnic groups and regions. They often include ancestor worship and spiritual practices tied to nature.
-
Hinduism and other religions - While less common, Hinduism has a presence, particularly among certain communities in East Africa like those in Kenya and Tanzania due to historical migration.
