African religion started as a combination of myth and ritual. It graduated (through discoveries and intellectual evolution) from magic to polytheism (tribal pagan religions based upon the environment and the needs of society) as well as shamanistic and totemic practices. In the diaspora, Judaism was spread throughout Northern Africa, followed by Christianity and later Islam.
