This briefing paper investigates how religious orientations, especially attachments to Islam, affect public support for democracy in sub-Saharan Africa. It finds that populations in four African countries with substantial Islamic communities are skeptical of whether being a Muslim constitutes much of an obstacle to becoming a democrat. The paper further concludes that more so than religion, modernization and education influence support for democracy.
