Religion

All Liberians are guaranteed the right to religious freedom by the Liberian Constitution, therefore the government respects religious convictions and practices as long as they comply with the law. The Constitution's protection of religious liberty forbids the government from treating people differently based on their religious convictions. However, during the protracted civil war, there was an unprecedented level of religious persecution in the nation, with some people being tortured and others being burned alive for their religious convictions.

Christianity is the dominant religion in the nation with the most followers. At least 83% of people in the nation practice this faith. There are many adherents of denominations including the Roman Catholic, United Methodist, and Presbyterian in the nation. 12.2% of the populace is said to practice Islam, another significant religion in the nation. However, because it was introduced to Liberia in the 16th century, the religion has been practiced there for longer than Christianity has. Every year, the nation celebrates the Islamic holy days. The majority of people in the nation practice Malikite Sunni, a local branch of the Sunni religion.
