U.S.
Department of State Human Rights Report 1998
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion but establishes
fixed legal conditions and prohibits what the Government considers
religious fundamentalism or intolerance. The constitutional provision
prohibiting religious fundamentalism is widely understood to be aimed
at Muslims. There is no state religion, and a variety of religious
communities are active. Most of the population is Christian, although
there are large Muslim and animist minorities. Religious organizations
and missionary groups are free to proselytize, worship, and construct
places of worship. However, religious groups must register with the
Government. Any group that the Government considers subversive remains
subject to sanctions, although the authorities imposed no sanctions
during the year.
