Winti is the Afro-Surinamese traditional religion that was created from the different tribal religious traditions of West African slaves in Suriname. Winti means 'wind'. But the term has three layers of meaning.

First, the term refers to the supreme God, Anana Kedyaman Kedyanpo. In this particular meaning, the term is written as 'The Winti'. Second, it refers to the religious system. In this particular meaning, the term is written as 'Winti'. Third, it refers to the four groups of lesser gods and spirits. In this particular meaning, the term is written as 'winti'.

What was the religion of King Tutankhamun?

King Tut had been raised by his parents in the Sun-oriented religion that his father Akhnaten had instituted instead of Egypt's traditional religious beliefs. After his fathers death, Tutankhamun quickly reverted to the ancient traditional beliefs, earning the gratitude of Egypt's powerful and rich priest class. Egypt's religion had no name, like today's "Catholic" of "Methodist" brands. So his religion can only be described as 'traditional Egyptian".
