Africa is one of the fastest growing Christian populations in the world. More people coming to Christ than anywhere else.

Many pre Christian and pre Islamic peoples in West Africa,for example the Yoruba,worshipped a Supreme Being above all other spirit beings (orishas and others ) that they honored. Also,Christianity was in Africa in the generation of the Apostles. Ancient Coptic and Ethiopian Christianity is still there and North Africa was a center of 4th centurty Latin Christianity.

Same reason some right here in the USA have never heard of God. They have never been told. But don't worry they will not die without hearing the Gospel, if they are of age.

If you are talking about historically, yes, that is a big problem for Christians. How to explain the universality of their faith against the backdrop of a world with poor communications. Not only were not Africans Christian, hell they weren't even Jewish!

Some have, through the forced teachings of Christian missionaries.
Others haven't and don't need to, they have their own Gods and Goddesses, their own Spirituality. They don't need Christianity forced on them any more than anyone else does.

and lets keep it that way and instead teach them the LAWS THAT GOVERN THE UNIVERSE! It will be too late once the brainwashers get involved (ex, any religious affiliation)

I know plenty of Africans who know more about God then I do. And they were raised there all their lives.

because they have their own gods or spirits they believe in. They don't need the war mongering God of the Bible.
