=== Growth of Christianity in Africa ===
In 2011, USA Today published an article entitled ''Study: Christianity grows exponentially in Africa'' which declared:
{{Cquote|Meanwhile, the faith has grown exponentially in sub-Saharan Africa, from just 9% of the population in 1910 to 63% today. Nigeria, home to more than 80 million Christians, has more Protestants than Germany, where the Protestant Reformation began.
"As a result of historic missionary activity and indigenous Christian movements by Africans, there has been this change from about one in 10 (sub-Saharan Africans) identifying with Christianity in 1910 to about six in 10 doing so today," Hackett said.<ref>['Study: Christianity grows exponentially in Africa''], USA Today, 2011</ref>}}
