Early tribes in Africa were mostly forms of animism, which means that they worshipped natural things such as the animals and plants as well as the sun, moon, ect. However, other tribes such as the Ashanti base their faith off of minerals such as gold and the gods that govern those minerals. When Middle Eastern people immigrated to the Sahara desert in northern Africa, they brought with them Islamic beliefs, which still exist in parts of northern Africa today.

Africa is a continent, not a country.
Some areas of Africa are Christian, others are Catholic, some are Islamic and so on. There are also many tribes in Africa that have their own individual religions and traditions such as sun worship.
Your question is really too vague to answer.

A large part of Africa is in the northern hemisphere, so it has the same seasons as the other parts of the northern hemisphere. For some of the other parts, the seasons are in the reverse to those in the northern hemisphere. As the equator goes through Africa, for much of Africa there is little difference between the seasons.
