HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG African Religions
AFRICAN RELIGION There are some 6000 tribes in Africa. Needless to say it is a continent of many gods. Before Africa was influenced by other cultures and dominant religions such as Christianity and Muslim, it was ruled by pagan worship. Those first religious groups that entered Africa referred to the natives as "heathens" (a term which implies that they were pathetic savages bowing down to idols made of wood and stone). Yet the African religion was much more colourful and had great richness to those who were willing to look and listen. [BM] {MN}
