Abstract
Religious pluralism in Senegal is a complex interplay of Islam, Christianity, and indigenous beliefs, influencing various aspects of social life. A qualitative analysis of existing literature on religious pluralism in Senegal combined with case studies from selected communities. While progress is evident, challenges persist such as economic disparities and historical grievances that hinder comprehensive interfaith harmony. Promoting inclusive education programmes to foster empathy across religious divides and encouraging government support for communal mediation initiatives.
