World religions entered Sub-Saharan Africa primarily through trade, exploration, and colonization. Islam spread into the region starting in the 7th century via North African traders and the trans-Saharan trade routes, while Christianity was introduced later by European missionaries and colonizers in the 15th century. Both religions often blended with local beliefs and practices, resulting in unique syncretic forms. Additionally, the movement of people, such as the Bantu migrations, facilitated the dissemination of spiritual beliefs across diverse communities.
