The difference between Christianity and the Rastafari religion is that the Rastafari is an Afrocentric group that started in Jamica and believe that Christianity corrupted some of The Bible interpretations and its meanings. They also consider the "Western Culture" as "Babylon" spoken of in the Bible in Revelation.

On the other hand, some if not all Rastafari believed that the Emperor of Ethiopia, Ras Tafari Makonnen, named Haile Selassie was the incarnation of whom they cal Jah. Which most Christians reject.

But in essence the Rastafari religion was started by Marcus Garvey, who was a Trinitarian Christian and a Free Methodist. He basically started another Christian denomination that empowered the black slaves.

Most Christians do not recognise Haile Selassie as the second coming of Jesus Christ. Many Christians do not smoke ganja.

Are Rastafarians going to the same afterlife as Christians?

Atheist ViewpointYes, Rastafarians and Christians go to the same place when they die, along with atheists, Moslems, Wiccans, dogs, cats and whales. Specifically - nowhere. There is nothing after death. Another Viewpoint Yes. God is the God for the whole world and we are all His children. There may be differences in our "judgement" later, though. The Rastafarian view. Most Rastafarians believe that Ethiopia was Eden. After death they go to heaven, a new Eden.
