Due to the strong historical Muslim tradition of this ethnic group, religious conversion has been low.
[1] The Fulani were one of the first Islamized peoples in Africa, abandoning their ancient ancestral spiritual traditions and strongly embedding the teachings of Muhammad in their daily lives.
[2] For this reason, attempts to evangelize the Fula peoples have historically been unsuccessful, considering in many cases that they directly associate their sense of ethnic identity with Islam as well.
[3] As a result of these mixtures and unions of peaceful coexistence, social inclusion and tolerance particularly in the Yorubaland, Nigeria, some elements of the Christian faith are mixed in religious syncretism with Islamic traditions, forming a type of "Chrislam" with both faiths belonging to the Abrahamic religions.
[4] A more harmonious religious conversion has been experienced by the Fulani who have emigrated out of Africa, as is the case of the Fula Americans, in a country with a vast Christian majority.
