Christians are mostly found along the coastal regions, and belong to the Roman Catholic Church (including Portuguese Bissau-Guineans) and various Protestant denominations.[3] In 2017, Sunni Islam, including that of Sufi-oriented, were most concentrated in the northern and northeastern parts of the country, while practitioners of traditional indigenous religious beliefs generally live in all but the northern parts of the country.[4] The vast majority of Muslims in the country are Sunni of Maliki school of jurisprudence, with Sufi influences.[5] Sizeable communities of Ahmadiyya Muslims also exist in some urban centers.
