Christianity acts as an external opponent to Okonkwo's values and lifestyle. Although seemingly harmless at first, Christianity provides a foothold for the colonists to break apart the tribe by assimilating the tribe's weak and outcast, and then expanding from there. Okonkwo views Christianity as a sacrilege and an offense to his own gods, so when Nwoye begins to be attracted to Christianity, Okonkwo is forced to disown his son.
