To determine the accurate statement about religion in Africa south of the Sahara, we can analyze each option:
A) Christianity first became part of the culture about 150 years ago: This statement is not accurate. Christianity has been present in Africa south of the Sahara for much longer than 150 years. Christianity was introduced to Africa as early as the 1st century AD.
B) Religion is an integral part of daily life: This statement is generally accurate. Religion, including various traditional African beliefs, Christianity, and Islam, plays a significant role in the lives of many people in Africa south of the Sahara. Religious practices and beliefs often permeate various aspects of daily life.
C) Islam has not attracted a large following: This statement is not accurate. Islam has a substantial following in Africa south of the Sahara, particularly in countries such as Nigeria, Sudan, Senegal, and Mali, among others. Islam arrived in Africa as early as the 7th century and has attracted a significant number of followers over the centuries.
D) It does not include European influences: This statement is not accurate. Over the centuries, European contact and colonization in Africa have had significant influences on religion. European colonial powers, such as Portugal, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom, brought Christianity to Africa, which subsequently became intertwined with existing African religious practices.
Based on the analysis, the statement that is most accurate is:
B) Religion is an integral part of daily life.
Therefore, option A is not the correct choice.
