Religion in Africa
Religion in Africa is multifaceted and has been a major influence on art, culture and philosophy. Today, the continent's various populations and individuals are mostly adherents of Christianity, Islam, and to a lesser extent Traditional African religion. In Christian or Islamic communities, religious beliefs are also sometimes characterized with syncretism with the beliefs and practices of traditional religions.〔(Restless Spirits: Syncretic Religion ) Yolanda Pierce, Ph.D. Associate Professor of African American Religion & Literature〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AFRICAN RELIGIOUS BELIEFS - Tewahedo - Palo - Serer - Tijaniyyah - Vodon )〕〔(Dr J.O. Awolalu, Studies in Comparative Religion Vol. 10, No. 2. (Spring, 1976). )〕
==African Traditional Religion==
(詳細はCheikh Anta Diop The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality, Chicago, L.Hill, 1974. ISBN 1-55652-072-7〕 According to Dr J Omosade Awolalu, The "traditional" in this context means indigenous, that which is foundational, handed down from generation to generation, meant as to be upheld and practised today and forevermore. A heritage from the past, yet not treated as a thing of the past but that which connects the past with the present and the present with eternity.〔
Often spoken of in the terms of a singularity, deliberate; yet conscious of the fact that Africa is a large continent with multitudes of nations who have complexed cultures, innumerable languages and myriads of dialects.〔 The essence of this school of thought is based mainly on oral transmission; that which is written in people's hearts, minds, oral history, customs, temples and religious functions.〔Leo Frobenius on African History, Art, and Culture: An Anthology, 2007 ISBN 1-55876-425-9〕 It has no founders or leaders like Gautama the Buddha, Christos, Ashoka, or Muhammed.〔Bolaji Idowu African Traditional Religion: A Definition, Maryknoll, N.Y., Orbis Books (1973) ISBN 0-88344-005-9〕 It has no missionaries or the intent to propagate or to proselytise.〔J S Mbiti''African Religions and Philosophy'', African Writers Series, Heinemann () (1990). ISBN 0-435-89591-5〕 Some of the African traditional religions are those of the Yoruba, Serer and Igbo peoples. Also among the Ashanti, the Fon/Ewe of Benin, Ghana and Nigeria.
