Religion

Religion might not be a big reason, but it definitely plays an important role in the distribution of the Namibian population. Once dominated by the UK and Germany, 80%–90% of the population of Namibia is part of the Christian community, with at least 75% being Protestant, of which at least 50% are Lutheran. There is also Islam in Namibia, which consists of about 9,000 people. Namibia is also home to a small Jewish community of about 100 people, and only 10%–20% of the population hold indigenous beliefs.

The German missionaries' activity throughout the country's colonial era, which was during the second half of the 19th century, resulted in many Namibians converting to Christianity. As said above, today, even though there are Roman Catholic, Methodist, Anglican, African Methodist Episcopal, Dutch Reformed, Latter-day Saints, and Jehovah's Witnesses, most Christians in Namibia are Lutheran, as Lutherans make up the majority of the population. The Four-O region (after its administrative divisions Oshana, Oshikoto, Ohangwena, and Omusati) is a region in central northern Namibia. It is Namibia's most populated area and also happened to be the place with the most churches and other religious establishments. As a result, people gather here for Religious services and activities.
