Christianity in Zambia

Christianity has been very much at the heart of religion in Zambia since the European colonial explorations into the interior of Africa in the mid 19th century. The area features heavily in the accounts of David Livingstone's journeys in Central Africa.

The 2010 census found that 75.3% of Zambians were Protestant and 20.2% were other Christians (mainly Catholic).^: 20

Figures in 2020 suggested that 85% of the country had a Christian background, with 34% following Protestantism and 32% following Catholicism.
