Why isn't there a major "Black Religion"?

Indians have Hinduism

East Asians have Buddhism

Arabs have Islam

White People have Christianity (particularly the Eastern Orthodox/Catholic strand)

But what do Africans have?

Of course these religions aren't "owned" by the ethnicities I named and some weren't even started by them, but in general these ethnicites are associated with these religions.

Why is there no African religion that is on the same scale?

most African religions were fragmented and local based on tribe and/or village

Plus a lot of Africans have adopted Christianity, and Islam(FWIW Orthodox Christianity has been practiced in Egypt and Ethiopia since its inception)

And also African religions have been demonized by a lot of Africans themselves via colonization.
Which is sad b/c these indigenous religions were the basis of the moral scope of Sub-Saharan Africans,

Whats interesting is that you'll have people who claim to be a follower of Jesus on Sunday morning, yet they'll to pray to a family shrine at night or when they are facing a crisis. So the indigenous have not been fully eradicated, just suppressed

sorry for the long post.

No offense, breh, but if you don't know the answer to this, you don't know your own history as an African American. Read the history breh.
