Letter from Africa : The Power of Religion - ketchim - 11-13-2014
Many religious leaders in Africa are regarded as superstars.
Take the pastors of Nigeria's mega-churches, for example.
Their meetings pack stadiums across the continent. Their books are bestsellers in a society that
is frequently accused of having a poor reading culture.

A 2010 survey (click)
by the US-based Pew Research Center shows that "the vast majority of people in many
of Africa's nations are deeply committed :
to the practices and major tenets of Christianity and Islam".
Some 87% of Nigerians surveyed said religion was very important in their lives -

Every civilization has it own version of the symbol.
Doesn't matter how you rearrange it.
It still has the same meaning.
