What is the religon practiced in Madagascar?
There are three main religions, as well as indigenous beliefs: Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam.
Religions: indigenous beliefs 52%, Christian 41%, Muslim 7% (from the CIA World Factbook)
"About 45% of the Malagasy are Christian, divided almost evenly between Roman Catholic and Protestant, but there are also Orthodox Christians. Many incorporate the cult of the dead with their other religious beliefs and bless their dead at church before proceeding with the traditional burial rites." ("Demographics of Madagascar," Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Madagascar#Religion)
Madagascar Religion is ruled by certain traditional beliefs. According to a recent survey, 55 percent of the population abides by the traditional beliefs, 40 percent are Christians and the remaining 5 percent of the population are Muslims. Thus majority of the Malagasy are the followers of Christianity and they are sub-divided into Roman Catholic and Protestants. The villages of the central highlands of Madagascar have two churches, one of them is Roman Catholic Church and the other is Protestant church.
Betsileo and Merina are the two main ethnic groups in Madagascar. The Betsileo people are the supporters of the Roman Catholicism whereas the Merina people are the supporters of the Protestantism. The council of Christian churches plays the pivotal role to maintain the integrity among the churches is other related factors. The nineteenth century was a tough period for Madagascar as the country witnessed conflicts between Christianity and traditional religious beliefs thus leading to the death of many religious followers.
Later on Protestantism became the religion of the royal and noble families of Madagascar. The Christian missionaries established the belief of Supreme God and used the term "Andriamanitra" to define the Christian counterpart.
Islam religion is also prevalent in the Madagascar society but basically there are meager followers of Islam living in Madagascar. Sunni and Shia are the two main sects of Muslims living in Madagascar. Majority of followers are the Indo-Pakistanis. Small community of the followers practices Hinduism.
The government of Madagascar provides the freedom of religion and also respects the right to practice the various Madagascar religions.

Why is Greenland an island and Australia a continent?
Geographically, Australia is a continent, not an island. As a landform, it could be considered an island as it is entirely surrounded by water and not joined onto any other land mass. For this reason, it is often referred to as an island continent. Australia is too big to be formallyclassified as an island. The world's largest island is actually Greenland.
Another reason why Australia is also considered a continent is because it sits on its own tectonic plate. This is different from Greenland, which uses the same land mass as North America. That is why the geological appearances are much different in Australia than anywhere else. A place like Greenland shares the same geologic attributes as North America.
