Traditional religions such as the Akan Traditional Religion[2] and Dagbon Traditional Religion[3] are the indigenous religions of Ghana. Islam was the first Abrahamic religion to be introduced in the country between the tenth[4] and 15th centuries,[5] by Muslim traders.[6] Later, Christianity was introduced via contact with the European missionaries.[7][8] Today, Christianity is the largest religion in Ghana, with substantial adherents of Islam and traditional faiths.[9] Christianity is mainly in the country's south[10] while Islam is based in the north.[11] Islam gained widespread acceptance in northern Ghana after Yaa Naa Zanjina accepted the faith in the 17th century.[12][13][14]
Ghana is a secular state and the country's constitution guarantees freedom of religion and worship. Christmas and Easter are recognized as national holidays.[15]
