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

[Turk]

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?

Because africans are not a monolith...

 

[Canon]

christianity is associated with black people

 

[BmoreGorilla]

You could say Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are our religions but were stolen from us

 

[How Sway?]

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.

Breh, I think we might need to import those African history threads here in the root. Some of the brehs in here are confused.

Looks like now is our chance to to get @cactrollfailedtoobadnegrep while his CACscapades are at his lowest.

Maybe we can get a BAAAAAAAAAAAN, or at least a BAN from this section.


This Obvious troll should not be allowed to derail and cac all over the place

Or at least while his rep is at 30, lets say we put this troll in the red like he is so desperate to be in

This is the long and short of it.

Africans are diverse as fukk in their beliefs.
