The majority of Africans are adherents of Christianity or Islam. African people often combine the practice of their traditional belief with the practice of Abrahamic religions. Abrahamic religions are widespread throughout Africa. They have both spread and replaced indigenous African religions, but are often adapted to African cultural contexts and belief systems.

It was estimated in 2002 that Muslims form 45% of Africa's population, while Christians forming 40. Refer to link below for detailed information.

Where did Obama's Arab heritage come from?

Barack Obama has no Arab heritage. Some people make the mistake of believing that because of the overwhelming majority of Arabs are Muslim, that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are Arab, which is patently false. Barack Obama's father was a Kenyan Muslim. Kenyans are Africans, not Arabs.
