Native Religions: Africa
Africa’s 700 million people are divided into three thousand tribes, with almost as many languages and dialects. Traditional African religion is equally diverse. But most include the concept of a high god or creator god as well as many other deities and spirits that can help or hurt human beings. Rituals are practiced to appease gods or ancestral spirits. Rites also mark incidents in the yearly cycle and such human transitions as birth, marriage, and death. Healing and divination are also widely practiced in a religious context.

Religions of the World -- Africa African and African-Derivative Religions are a large group of beliefs and practices based upon ancient indigenous faiths of sub-Saharan African peoples. Within the last 100 years in Africa indigenous religion has declined under the influence of colonialism, Western acculturation and proselytizing by Islam and Christianity. In the African Diaspora (mainly in the Americas) African-derived belief systems are in a state of impressive growth.
