(AFA - 2011)
Religion________________central to people’s lives in Africa. Although the majority of Africans are now Muslim or Christian, traditional religion have endured and still play a big role. Religion runs like a thread through daily life, marked by prayers of gratitude in times of plenty and prayers of supplication in times of need. Religion confirms identity on the individual and the group.
