Equatorial Guinea is an overwhelmingly Christian majority country, with Islam being a minority religion. Due to secular nature of the country's constitution, Muslims are free to proselytize and build places of worship in the country. In 2015, the official press agency of Equatorial Guinea reported that 3.5% of the population were muslim.[1] Previous estimates by the U.S. State Department International Religious Freedom Report 2006 found that practitioners of Islam comprised less than 1 percent of the population of Equatorial Guinea.[2] Adherents.com, however, estimates that Muslims make up anywhere from 1% to 5% of the population.[3]
