President Salva Kiir, a Christian, while speaking at Saint Theresa Cathedral in Juba, stated that South Sudan would be a nation which respects freedom of religion.[3] The reported estimated relative proportions of adherents of traditional African religions and Christianity have varied.[4][5][6][7][8] A 2019 study found that Protestants outnumbered Catholics in South Sudan.[9]
