According to Niall Ferguson in his book "Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World," Africa has embraced Christianity to a greater extent than Europe. This assertion highlights the significant growth of Anglicanism in Nigeria, where the number of Anglicans has surpassed that in England itself, indicating a robust religious commitment on the continent.

This observation challenges the traditional perception of Christianity's stronghold being in Europe and suggests a remarkable transformation in religious demographics. It signifies not only a shift in religious affiliation but also reflects broader social and cultural changes taking place within African societies.
