oh one more thing if you read or see how legitimate african paganism is, it has almost nothing to do with these syncretized religions which, as already mentioned, are a retarded mixture of several concepts. in fact, one of the few things that have been ""preserved" (not in the literal sense. because in africa 90% are abrahamic. some retard just picked up the names of deities in a book) are the etymological names of some deities, and even so, their "trades" are completely changed. and there is no true "voodo" or "macumba" or some kind of basic dogma that everyone must follow, which is a complete confusion of subjectivism. it takes away any kind of credibility for any kind of belief system. and it's not me saying this, but your religious "leaders".
