Which religious faith is practiced by most people in Gabon?

The majority of the population in Gabon practices Christianity, which is followed by more than three-fourths of the people.1

Within the Christian population, Roman Catholics represent the largest group, accounting for more than two-fifths of the total. Other significant Christian denominations include the Evangelical Church of Gabon, the Christian Alliance church, the Evangelical Pentecostal church (Assembly of God), and the Adventist church.2

While a small segment of the population identifies as Muslim or adheres to traditional religions, it is important to note that many individuals who identify as Christian or Muslim also incorporate various traditional beliefs and practices into their faith. Additionally, the syncretic religion known as Bwiti emerged in the early 20th century and has historically served to promote solidarity among the Fang people. Gabon does not have an official state religion.21
