i dont think she is "religious"......but based on her lyrics, I know that she follows some of the teachings of the Nation of Gods and Earths.

To add to the above on Eryka Badu:

She is quoted as saying "Personally, I don't choose any particular religion or symbol or group of words or teachings to define me. That's between me and the most high. You know, my higher self. The Creator."


Which is a 5 percenters' (Also known as the Nation of Gods & Earths) principle, not being defined by a particular religious doctrine. But her reference to the Higher Self is reminiscing that of the Moorish Science Temple or Eastern Religions. Her song On & On, it is riddled with 5% language and terms for example:

"Peace & blessins' manifest
With every lesson learned
If yo knowledge were yo wealth
Then it would be well earned
If we were made in His image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not Believe in God
But they fear us just the same"

But in her song "Next Life Time" she suggest a belief in reincarnation and she is vegetarian thus her beliefs is a hybrid of beliefs, influenced by 5% teachings, & Eastern Religious thought, and maybe a mixture of traditional African religion.
