Faith and Customs in Angola

Angola's religious landscape comprises 41% Roman Catholic, 38% Protestants, 21% non-religious, and 1% animist. While Christianity faced challenges during Marxist rule, increased religious tolerance has emerged. Religious worship is allowed, but organizations must seek approval and recognition first.

Cultural Nuances

Engaging with locals involves understanding cultural nuances. Greet the eldest first to show respect, and be aware of dinner customs, often served in a communal bowl. Reading both verbal and body language is crucial, as Angolans in an attempt to be polite may say one thing while meaning another.
