Religious issues are a persistent problem in other countries, but East Africa doesn't have these concerns because it was established relying on secular power from the beginning.
Moreover, this land of East Africa previously only had Arabian religion and some indigenous wizards, who can also be considered priests. The indigenous development was quite low, and even as a nation, it still had a large number of tribes and independent villages, each with its own beliefs in various deities.
Thus, a unified belief system couldn't form, and according to Ernst, religion is a societal organization with a strict structure and unified program, which these scattered indigenous beliefs in East Africa couldn't fulfill.
