Abstract

Religious pluralism is a significant feature of many societies in West Africa, including Equatorial Guinea. Understanding inter-faith tensions within such contexts can provide insights into broader social dynamics. A quantitative survey was conducted among a diverse sample population using structured questionnaires designed to capture perceptions and experiences related to religious diversity and conflict. The survey revealed that approximately 45% of respondents reported experiencing some level of inter-faith tension, with the highest incidence observed in urban areas where cultural and religious differences are more pronounced. This study contributes to the understanding of how religious pluralism can coexist alongside inter-faith tensions, highlighting the importance of community dialogue and education in mitigating conflict. Policy makers should consider fostering interfaith dialogues and educational initiatives to promote mutual respect and understanding among different religious communities.
