Religion in Burkina Faso

[2][3][1] Statistics on religious affiliation are approximate because Syncretism, incorporating traditional indigenous beliefs and practices, is widespread among both Christians and Muslims.

[5][6] Muslims reside largely around the northern, eastern, and western borders, while Christians live in the centre of the country.

People practise traditional indigenous religious beliefs throughout the country, especially in rural communities.

In 2010, small Syrian and Lebanese immigrant communities resided in the two largest cities, and were overwhelmingly (more than 90 percent) Christian.

[9] In 2023, Open Doors ranked Burkina Faso as the 23rd worst country to be a Christian.
