This is a good idea for a quiz. Well done!

I enjoyed them both, but found it interesting that though both use 2017 data, number 10 on the two lists using simple quantity (not percentage of population) is different.

I like the quiz! It does make you think. I got them all with 7 seconds left, but the answers definitely weren't that obvious.

I figured the populous colonies of Christian European nations (especially Catholic ones) would have seen a lot of conversion, with Ethiopia being the only one who converted on their own and Nigeria only seeing partial success in conversion.

The Aksumite Empire was one of the earliest country to make Christianity its state religion c. 330 CE. Its church evolved into the modern Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

Ran out of time to type Uganda. Must learn to type faster.

Good quiz though.

Great idea !! Fun and interesting quiz. I score 7/10, good score... I forgot Ghana, Ethiopia and Angola.

Was surprised not to see Egypt on here. Guess the Coptic Christians are not as significant of a presence as I thought.

Jul 10, 2018

I just checked. Egypt is 90% muslim. Coptic christians are only about 9%.

And for anyone who’s wondering what the other 1 percent is, it’s actually just Islamic and Coptic Christian. 90.64% Islamic and 9.26% Coptic Christianity. But on Wikipedia it says that there’s is another 0.1%. I guess I did my math wrong because that equals oh nvm 😂😭

That's why Ethiopia and Kenya are on here.

Egypt has a sizeable Christian minority compared to other Muslim countries but compared to virtually every sub-Saharan African country which are almost all Christian they don't have very many.

Level 52

Jul 12, 2018

Coptic Christians do make around 9% of Egypt which is around 10 million people...so Egypt would probably make it if this quiz was changed from top 10 to top 15.

Egypt wouldn't be on the top 15: Angola, Cameroon, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Rwanda all beat Egypt.

Rwanda? Wow it has more people than I thought

Not sure the Ethiopia data is accurate. Another Wikipedia page (here) says it has a Christian population of 62.8% and a Muslim population of 33.9%. I could be wrong, but it might be a good idea to check the source again.

wait uganda's population is 47 million so how is 42 million 60 percent of that

Its's helpful to know where the line between the mostly Muslim countries and Christian countries is. I wonder if African Tribalism and traditional beliefs would be a major religion(religions?) if not for colonialism of Africa.

Level 46

African Tribalism is not one religion. There are at least thousands of individual indigenous traditions in Africa.

think the population percentages for Uganda and Tanzania are flipped unless they really have about 60 million people as of 2025
