Tongan religion
Though it is no longer practiced today, Tonga's ancient religion was practiced for over 2000 years. Missionaries arrived and persuaded King George Tupou I to convert to Christianity; he ordered and strictly enforced that all Tongans become Christian and no longer practice the ancient polytheistic religion with its supreme god Tangaloa.
==Pulotu==
Pulotu was the unseen world, the domain of the god or goddess Hikule'o believed to be reached by sea. Stories told of journeys to Pulotu. Tongans identify Pulotu with the underworld, ''Lolofonua''. Pulotu is also identified with the cemetery or graveyard. Long ago, it was believed that Pulotu could be visited by a man to recover a dead wife. Hikule'o would assemble the spirits so the wife could be found, reanimated and released.
Two entrances are pointed out by Tongans. One is ''Ahole'' a deep hole on the island of Koloa, Vava'u. Ahole was the opening from which ''Maui Kisikisi'' brought fire from the underworld to this world. The second opening was through the island of Tofua. There are three divisions of Pulotu called ''Pulotu Tete'', ''Pulotu 'Aka'aka'', and ''Pulotu Tu'uma'u''.
