“…Such ideas continue to resonate today, and African cultures – diverse though they are – continue to be widely associated with high levels of religiosity. While this association with religiosity is at times touched by stereotypical, even atavistic views on African superstitiousness, at other times Africa is lauded as a haven of religious resilience and as the new hub for global Christianity and Islam (Jenkins, 2011; Ngom et al, 2020; Norris and Inglehart, 2004; Pew Research Center, 2017). A popular explanation of religion's thriving in the global South and in Africa in particular focuses on economic aspects or more broadly on what Norris and Inglehart call “existential security – that is, the feeling that survival is secure enough that it can be taken for granted” (Norris and Inglehart, 2004: 4).…”

Sub-Saharan African societies are widely seen as highly religious. However, at least 30 million Sub-Saharan Africans identify themselves as “religious nones” and are supposedly not affiliated with any religious tradition. While research interest in religious nones has been growing in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, there is a dearth of literature on nones in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, we offer an overview of this understudied subject and dwell on key challenges for studying African nones, including preconceived notions and structural oppositions. We further muse on the identity of African nones and consider differences from the characteristics established concerning Western nones. The article draws on quantitative data from across the region (primarily from Afrobarometer and Pew Research Center) and supplements them with interview data collected in Chad, Kenya, and South Africa.

“…Firstly, migration to USA, European countries and Australia causes over half growth in Muslim populations in these countries during the last five years (Wilkins et al , 2019b). Secondly, Muslims form around 30% of the population of sub-Saharan Africa and is expected to grow by 60% in the next 20 years (Ngom et al , 2020). Thirdly, halal food has attracted non-Muslims and has gained popularity amongst non-Muslims (Zailani et al , 2019).…”

Purpose The halal food market is a large and fast-growing market. To maintain and boost the growth of the halal food industry, scholars have attempted to understand the behaviour of Muslims and non-Muslims towards halal food. To advance understating of previous studies on behaviour towards halal food and shedding light on future studies, this study aims to systematically review the literature. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 985 peer-reviewed papers was extracted from Scopus and Web of Science databases. A total of 96 articles related to customers' behaviour towards halal food by reviewing the titles, abstracts and contents of the extracted articles were identified and reviewed. Findings This study illustrates: (i) various research designs and methodology used in halal food context, (ii) theories that researchers used to explain customer behaviour towards halal food, (iii) most tested behaviours and (iv) determinants of customer behaviour towards halal food. Originality/value The findings provide deep insights into the current state of halal food literature. This paper highlights many gaps in the literature and suggests directions for future studies to advance the understanding of customer behaviour towards halal food. This study will help researchers to identify the new dimensions of research and contribute to the literature.
