I am a little confused here. In the body of the article, it says 50% of the people of Benin practice animism (indigenous beliefs), 20% practice Islam, and 30% practice Christianity. However, under the "Religions" section, it says 70% practice indigenous beliefs, 15% practice Islam, and 15% practice Christianity. Because I am ignorant of Benin, determining which set of data is most correct and up to date is difficult. Would someone with more knowledge on Benin be able to correct this inconsistency?
