14. African Traditional Religions:

We all know that there was a European slave trace very long back in history in Africa. Colonization and related practices have had a significant impact on the African diaspora. As a result, in the subcontinent today, we see various religious groups with different spirituals, rituals, and customs influenced by their past geographic surroundings. Several African religions were born as a result that emerged from groups in other regions. The most prominent ones include the following:

Batuque; Candomblé; Dahomey mythology; Haitian mythology; Kumina; Macumba; Mami Wata; Obeah; Oyotunji; Palo; Ifa; Lucumi; Hudu; Quimbanda; Santería (Lukumi); Umbanda; Vodou

15. Indigenous American Religions:

We also have various native American religions with different sets of customs, faiths, practices, and deities, along with multiple rituals followed by the continent’s indigenous population. These were dated way back. Even the region was occupied as colonies. The tribes and nomadic groups inhabited here believed in animistic, monotheistic, and polytheistic religions. To date, the descendants from the families of nomadic groups and tribes follow and practice and worship the customs of the ancestors of Native Americans. Although few of them faded away gradually after Europeans arrived and settled in the region, we still have several prevalent religions that include,

Earth Lodge religion; Indian Shaker religion; Longhouse religion; Mexicayoti; Peyote religion; Waashat religion.

We hope you have explored and learned something new today about the various types of religion across the globe. These are not the end and only religions that exist all across, but the dominant ones are still present around us.
