Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life / Islam and Christianity in Sub-Saharan Africa Committed in Practice More than three-quarters of the population in nearly every country surveyed says that religion is very important in their lives. By comparison, 57% of adults in the United States say this.

Most Attend Religious Services Regularly % of Christians saying they attend weekly or more Majorities in every country say they attend religious services at least once a week, and in most countries more than three-in-four people report attending worship services weekly or more. Worship attendance is high among Christians and Muslims alike, although in countries where comparisons are possible, it is generally somewhat higher among Muslims than among Christians. % of Muslims saying they attend weekly or more Q40, 41. Christians were asked: Aside from weddings and funerals how often do you attend religious services - more than once a week, once a week, once or twice a month, a few times a year, seldom, or never. Muslims were asked: On average, how often do you attend the mosque or Islamic Center for salah and Jum’ah Prayer?
