Africa is home to many different religious traditions. All of the great world religious traditions are in Africa including Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism. However, the vast majority of Africans from across the continent identify themselves with one (or more) of three religious traditions: indigenous African religions, Islam, and Christianity.THE ROLE OF MISSIONARIES IN COLONISATIONEuropean missionaries especially from Portugal, France, Britain, and Germany went to Africa under the premise of going to convert the locals to Christianity.
