Practitioners of Voodoo/Vodou believe in a supreme God known as Bondye, and demi Gods known as Loa or Lwa (similar to Saints) in which we pray and talk to for help and assistance, as Bondye directly does not interfere in the lives of humans as the Lwa do.

How does religion continues to dominate the life of Caribbean people?
In the Caribbean, such as in Haiti, the Voodoo beliefs are totally permeated into the minds and hearts of the Caribbean people. When the people become Christian believers they have a very hard time shedding the Voodoo beliefs they have had ingrained in them since they were born. Some will still practice Voodoo even when they are Christians. This is a bad practice. Voodoo can be dangerous and is basically a fearful satanic belief system. Imagine being scared of people, doing daily activities, going to sleep because you are scared to death of Voodoo curses or practices? It is one thing many government people there would love to have eradicated.
