African Traditional Religion
African Traditional Religion
There is no single encompassing book for African Traditional Religion to which all people of Africa draw their inspiration. It is unthinkable to say that every tribe in Africa has the exact same liturgy.
However, extensive research reveals consistent, decimal features in the religious worldviews of African peoples. We embody these features with pervasive sacredness and solemnity.
The Five Pillars of Belief
Across the continent, these five elements form the basic structure of our faith.
Belief in God
Belief in Divinities
Belief in Spirits (Deities)
Belief in Ancestors
Practice of Magic & Medicine
Unity in Diversity
While the core features remain constant, there are variations due to the different ecologies, cultures, and traditions found across Africa.
Africans do not separate religion from daily life. We embody these features in words, thoughts, and deeds with sacredness.
"One needs to mention that Christianity, Islam, and other world religions are no different. Like African Traditional Religion, they have sacred texts, yet one still finds variants and sects within them."
