It was estimated in 2002 that Christians form 40% of Africa's population, with Muslims forming 45%.

“Politics at all times lead to bloody wars, and not only politics, but also religions as well as social and economic systems of all times are spattered with blood. Invariably the big ones devoured the little ones, and the little ones the tiny ones.”
