The Constitution (Article 21) guarantees freedom of religion; all religious communities are legally equal. Since there are no official statistics on religious affiliation, estimates from other institutions must be used. According to this, about 97% of the population are Christians: The majority of them belong to (post-) Reformation religious communities (predominantly Lutherans with about 50% of the population as well as Reformed, Methodists, Baptists, etc.), as well as about 20% of the Catholic Church and about 3% of the Anglican ones Church; there are also around 100 independent Christian churches or religious groups with references to the Bible ( Adventists, Mormons ). Namibia is the only state in Africa with an Evangelical Lutheran majority. The country’s three Lutheran churches, to which almost half of the population belong, have been working together since 2007 in the “United Church Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of Namibia”. The Catholic ecclesiastical province established for Namibia in 1994 includes the Archdiocese of Windhoek with the suffragan diocese of Keetmanshoop and the Apostolic Vicariate of Rundu. The Anglican Diocese of Namibia (seat: Windhoek) is part of the Anglican Church of the Province of South Africa.
The Baha’is and Jews are very small religious minorities. The Jewish community founded by Jewish merchants from Cape Town in the middle of the 19th century has less than 100 members (synagogue in Windhoek). The number of Muslims living in the country is given as between 1 and 3%. Indigenous African religious practices are particularly widespread among the San and in the Kaokoveld among the Herero-belonging Himba and Tjimba and are mixed with Christian rites.
