Religion

There are three main religions in Guinea. These three religions make up roughly 85% of the population each: Islam, 8% Christianity, and 7% or so traditional beliefs. The populace (both Muslims and Christians) practice a hybrid kind of religion, hence the statistic for conventional religions may be a little deceiving. This hybrid religion combines historic beliefs with elements of both contemporary Islam and Christianity. Thus, it is extremely likely that traditional religions are the most widespread. Wearing amulets or charms by Christians or Muslims is one instance of this blending. The likes of Hindus, Baha'is, Chinese religious organizations, and Buddhists are examples of other small religions.

Muslims can be categorized into three main groups: Sunni, Ahmadiyya, and Shia. The majority of Muslims are Sunni, with Ahmadiyya and Shia traditions ranking second and third, respectively, in terms of percentage of the Muslim population. It's interesting to note that, unlike in other Muslim nations, the women here do not always adhere to the purdah or wear full-coverage clothing (seclusion).

Numerous Christian denominations exist, including those of the Roman Catholic Church, Seventh-Day Adventists, Baptists, Anglicans, and other groupings. In addition to these significant denominations, Jehovah's Witnesses have a following. The Roman Catholic Church is the most prevalent religion. The Coastal or Forest Regions are where the majority of Christians are from.
