How does traditional African religion justify the womans's inferior position in their society?
Q. For example in Ibo people I'm writing an essay on "Things fall apart" Thanks for your help

A. Relgion justifies nothing, regardless of which sect or belief structure. The people who subscribe to them are the ones who justify acts of others, not the books that they read or the learnings they're given. Women are in that position there because they allow it, that's all.

A. There are thousands of indigenous African religions. You must specify the ethnic group and/or region to begin to deal with the culture. Most traditional African religions are monotheistic or henotheistic (devoted to one god but believing in the existence of many, lesser gods), but - while fewer in number - there are also polytheistic or animist religions. The Yoruba religion is considered the "most influential" of traditional African religions, for its high number of practitioners but also because of its spread and creolization in the Western hemisphere thru slavery.

A. Bonny, get back to work or I'm telling your supervisor you're surfing Y!A on the clock! :-P You need to be more specific. Most sub-Saharan Africans followed tribally-specific forms of animism, but there's an xian church in Ethiopa that claims to have the Ark of the Covenant, and another tribal group somewhere that worships the stars. Most of the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora religions, like Santeria, Voudon, Condomble and Yoruba are the result of syncretism between native African religions and Catholicism. If you have any familiarity with those . . . you have the basic idea already.

The forcible moving of Indians in America to reservations. The outright annihilation of their race and culture. The conquest of the southwestern US by taking it from Mexico. These are things that many of our Christian leaders choose not to deal with. The best answer for all of this is that Christians are just as flawed as the other peoples, cultures, and religions of the world. Humanity is simply flawed.

Other mixed race people on here?
Q. I have a mixed racial and religious background. My dad's dad is a New Zealander, his mother tongue is English, and he was raised Roman Catholic. My dad's mom is an Indian (from India, NOT Native American), her mother tongue is Telugu, and she was raised Orthodox Jewish. My mom's mom is Chinese, her mother tongue is Cantonese, and she was raised Lamaistic Buddhist. My mom's dad is Ethiopian, his mother tongue is Amharic, and he was raised Shankellan (which is a traditional African religion). Are there other very mixed-racial people on here?
