Religious Tolerance = Religious Transit?

A very unique feature of Sierra Leone is the religious tolerance among its people. Though the population is fairly broken up between Christianity and Islam, they function amongst each other very smoothly. This is very evident in the public transit, where every bus is labeled with a religious phrase, like "The Lord is my Shepard" or "Allah is God" or something along those lines. It doesn't get old seeing hundreds of the these buses (vans) driving around as you sit in Freetown traffic for an hour. Here's some pictures of a few of them. Enjoy!
