This article deploys the accommodative nature of African Indigenous Religion (AIR) as a reflective tool in Ghana's religious pluralistic context. This paper argues that the accommodative nature of AIR which has made scholars argue for its singularity can serve as a tool which would promote religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence in Ghana.
