The hardest-hit countries have been Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The religious makeup of these countries is varied, with Guinea and Sierra Leone having majority Muslim populations (88% and 63%, respectively). Liberia is about 42% Ethnic religionist and 41% Christian, with 15% following Islam. This map displays these percentages, and the boxes are sized by population.
