The category of African indigenous religion refers to cultural, religious or spiritual manifestations indigeneous to the continent of Africa. There are arguably several religions in this category. Traditional African religions involve teachings, practices, and rituals that lend structure to the African native societies. Traditional African societies reflect local conceptions of God, the Gods (if the cultures are polytheistic or henotheistic), and the cosmos. Even within single communities there may be slightly different perceptions. African traditionalists almost always acknowledge the existence of a high God or demiurge who created the universe (Shango, Olorun, etc.) Many traditional African stories speak of how God or God's son once lived among the people, but as humans did something to give offense to God, God withdrew to the heavens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_traditional_religion

However some accounts do remark that the priestess of Demeter was required to attend and that maidens were also permitted to watch.

2. The upper class had to concede a say to the farmers and traders as they relied on them to fight and defend their properties, so limited democracies came into being.
