There were many different tribes in Africa back in the 15 century to 18 century, and some now, that practiced animistic religions. Many believed in spirits and were polytheistic. Nowadays, more modern religions are present such as Islam, Christianity, and even Judaism. In the north the majority is Islam, and Ethiopia is the seat of the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church.

There were and are many religions in Africa. Shamanism runs through most of the continent's religions. The Yoruba religion of Ile Ifa in Nigeria is a large religion that has grown as it was exported to the west (VooDoo, Candomblé, Macouba).

The most sophisticated religion in Africa was in ancient Egypt. The worship of Mother Goddess ISIS is the longest sustained religion in the world. It has continued unbroken for more than 7,000 years.
