Irreligion in Africa, encompassing also atheism in Africa as well as agnosticism, secular humanism and general secularism, has been estimated at over tens of millions in various polls.[citation needed] While the predominant religions in Africa are Islam and Christianity, many groups and individuals still practice their traditional beliefs. Despite this the irreligious population is notable, especially in South Africa where 3.1% of the population describe themselves as irreligious, atheist or agnostic,[1] and in Botswana, where 7.1%[2] of the population describes themselves as non-religious.
