I feel you but tell me exactly what's da "dumb" part of what she said in dis instance?
Blacks had our own religions, INCLUDING Christianity, for her to resort to the tired narrative of the slaves being forced into Christianity as if that's their first and only introduction to it is a fukkin fallacy. Like I said, she need to go comment on voodun and santeria and shyt since she's Carribean. She has no business talking down on Black Americans; the church was and still is the corner store of the black community (whether that's a good or bad thing is an entirely different thing).

I've always thought Christianity was a slave master religion. I don't speak out about it cuz i know people's parents are religious and that makes them feel good and like they have a safe community to be a part of, but I don't see it as a natural part of african american heritage. More like something forced on or brainwashed in

Mark the Evangelist became the first bishop of the Orthodox Church of Alexandria in about the year 43.[5] At first the church in Alexandria was mainly Greek-speaking. By the end of the 2nd century the scriptures and liturgy had been translated into three local languages. Christianity in Sudan also spread in the early 1st century, and the Nubian churches there were linked to those of Egypt.[6]
Christianity also grew in northwestern Africa (today known as the Maghreb). The churches there were linked to the Church of Rome and provided Pope Gelasius I, Pope Miltiades and Pope Victor I, all of them Christian Berbers like Saint Augustine and his mother Saint Monica.
At the beginning of the 3rd century the church in Alexandria expanded rapidly, with five new suffragan bishoprics. At this time, the Bishop of Alexandria began to be called Pope, as the senior bishop in Egypt. In the middle of the 3rd century the church in Egypt suffered severely in the persecution under the Emperor Decius. Many Christians fled from the towns into the desert. When the persecution died down, however, some remained in the desert as hermits to pray. This was the beginning of Christian monasticism, which over the following years spread from Africa to other parts of the Gohar, and Europe through France and Ireland.
The early 4th century in Egypt began with renewed persecution under the Emperor Diocletian. In the Ethiopian/Eritrean Kingdom of Aksum, King Ezana declared Christianity the official religion after having been converted by Frumentius, resulting in the foundation of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

The conventional historical view is that the conquest of North Africa by the Islamic Umayyad Caliphate between AD 647–709 effectively ended Catholicism in Africa for several centuries.[8] The prevailing view is that the Church at that time lacked the backbone of a monastic tradition and was still suffering from the aftermath of heresies including the so-called Donatist heresy, and this contributed to the earlier obliteration of the Church in the present day Maghreb.[9] Some historians contrast this with the strong monastic tradition in Coptic Egypt, which is credited as a factor that allowed the Coptic Church to remain the majority faith in that country until around after the 14th century.
However, new scholarship has appeared that disputes this. There are reports that the Roman Catholic faith persisted in the region from Tripolitania (present-day western Libya) to present-day Morocco for several centuries after the completion of the Arab conquest by 700.[10] A Christian community is recorded in 1114 in Qal'a in central Algeria. There is also evidence of religious pilgrimages after 850 to tombs of Catholic saints outside the city of Carthage, and evidence of religious contacts with Christians of Arab Spain. In addition, calendar reforms adopted in Europe at this time were disseminated amongst the indigenous Christians of Tunis, which would have not been possible had there been an absence of contact with Rome.
Local Catholicism came under pressure when the Muslim regimes of the Almohads and Almoravids came into power, and the record shows demands made that the local Christians of Tunis convert to Islam. There are reports of Christian inhabitants and a bishop in the city of Kairouan around 1150 AD - a significant event, since this city was founded by Arab Muslims around 680 AD as their administrative center after their conquest. A letter in Catholic Church archives from the 14th century shows that there were still four bishoprics left in North Africa, admittedly a sharp decline from the over four hundred bishoprics in existence at the time of the Arab conquest.[11] Berber Christians continued to live in Tunis and Nefzaoua in the south of Tunisia up until the early 15th century, and in the first quarter of the 15th century we even read that the native Christians of Tunis, though much assimilated, extended their church, perhaps because the last Christians from all over the Maghreb had gathered there.[12]
By 1830, when the French came as colonial conquerors to Algeria and Tunis, local Catholicism had been extinguished. The growth of Catholicism in the region after the French conquest was built on European colonizers and settlers, and these immigrants and their descendants mostly left when the countries of the region became independent.
seems highly doubtful the slaves brought over were christian

someone who knows some history. Yes the europeans put their twisted version of "christianity" on us but there were MILLIONs of christians in africa long before the slave trade.
We had what are called ATR...which are African Traditional Religion or beliefs, we never had Christiainity,Islam or Judaism,which all three has brainwashed negroes for centuries. There was no name or "MAN" put to our belief system before we came into contact with whites and arabs. We had a mixture of all three tied up into our natural beliefs and spirituality.

There were ancient civilizations that practiced Christianity/Islam and other religions, of which black Americans descend from.

That wasn't "Christianity"...It was a form of spirituality that you religious zealots try and twist into the white man's version as it is today to validate your enslavement to it....same with Islam.......You negroes are in love and still enslaved to this arab and cac, and you don't even know it.
ATR:
Indigenous African religions continue to be very important in many African societies. However, African religious beliefs and practices have not remained unchanged. The spread of Islam and Christianity has influenced the practice of indigenous religious practice.
