African traditional religions had different ways of worshiping. Some religions worshiped trees while others mountains. They believed in one ultimate unseen god whom different communities had a different name. They also made sacrifices to their ancestors as a way of appeasing them.

Native Religions: Africa

Africa 700 million people are divided into three thousand tribes, with almost as many languages and dialects. Traditional African religion is equally diverse. But most include the concept of a high god or creator god as well as many other deities and spirits that can help or hurt human beings. Rituals are practiced to appease gods or ancestral spirits. Rites also mark incidents in the yearly cycle and such human transitions as birth, marriage, and death. Healing and divination are also widely practiced in a religious context. hombaro

Traditional African religion refers to the African's indigineous religious beliefs. This is hard to generalise because it is diverse, but there are similarities, such as:

1) Beliefs are spoken rather than written.

2) Generally include belief in a supreme being.

3) Belief in spirits.

4) Use of magic.

5) Traditional medicine.
