Religion

Christianity is the main religion in Angola at 79%. 41% of the population is Roman Catholic and 38% is Protestant. Since the first contacts with the Portuguese, many people from the different Angolan peoples have been Christianized over the centuries, partly due to the work of the missionaries and missionaries. 12% of the population is not religious and less than 9% has another religion, of which less than 1% adheres to Islam. 

Culture

Angolan culture is mainly native Bantu with Portuguese influences. For example, Portugal and Angola already share the language and Roman Catholic Christianity as the largest religion. Furthermore, there are numerous ethnic communities with their own cultural characteristics, traditions and indigenous languages or dialects such as the Ovimbundu and Ambundu. In addition, these ethnic communities give their own touch to Angolan cuisine, have their own artistic skills such as pottery making or are known for their signature music such as semba, kuduro or zouk.
