Religion in Botswana
text:
Christianity is the largest religion in Botswana. However, the country is officially secular and allows freedom of religious practice. Christianity arrived in Botswana in mid 1870s, with the arrival of European missionaries. The conversion process was quicker than neighbouring southern African countries because regional hereditary tribal chiefs locally called Dikgosi converted to Christianity, which triggered the entire group they led to convert as well.
