What are the main religious beliefs of African aborigines? Please elaborate.

At present, the religious beliefs of all ethnic groups in Africa are mainly influenced by Christianity and Islam. In addition, many ethnic groups also believe in the traditional primitive religion (fetishism). 1. Christianity: As early as 1 century, the influence of Christianity was introduced into Alexandria, Egypt from its birthplace, and then Coptic sects gradually formed in Egypt. Coptic Sect is one of the eastern Christian churches, mainly composed of ancient Egyptians. The original meaning of "Copt" is Egyptian, from which the word "Egypt" comes. The Coptic Sect advocated "oneness" in doctrine, split from the Orthodox Church in Constantinople in the middle of the 5th century, and insisted on using ancient Coptic as the religious language. The church has continued in Egypt to this day, and its followers have withstood the strong pressure of Arabization and Islamization, becoming a small but unique ethnic and religious group in today's Egyptian society. Former UN Secretary-General Ghali is a Coptic in Egypt. Coptic Christianity was introduced into Ethiopia in the 4th century and established as the state religion. Ethiopia's Christian tradition has been maintained for thousands of years, and it is the only country in Africa with Christianity as its state religion. The widespread spread of Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa was after 15 ~ 16 century when Europeans launched colonial aggression. At first, the Portuguese first introduced Roman Catholicism to Ghana, Angola, Benin, Congo and the coastal areas of East Africa in Central and West Africa. /kloc-After the 0/8th century, British and American colonial forces invaded the coast of West Africa and introduced Protestantism to Sierra Leone, Liberia and other places. 19, at the turn of the 20th century, as Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and other countries competed for spheres of influence in Africa, Christian sects also penetrated into different regions and ethnic groups in Africa, and were distributed roughly according to the influence of colonial sovereign countries. For example, in Ghana, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa and other countries, the influence of Protestantism is relatively great. In Cameroon, Togo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Congo, Cape Verde and other countries that were once colonies of France, Spain and Portugal, Catholics account for a relatively large proportion. 2. Islam: Africa is one of the continents with the greatest influence of Islam after Asia. After the expansion of the Arab People's Congress in the 7th century, Islam stepped out of the Arabian Peninsula and began to spread to Egypt and other parts of North Africa. By the 1 1 century, it had spread all over the Maghreb. The traditional commercial trade across the Sahara desert provides a convenient way for Islam to spread to West Africa. Since the 8th century, Islam has been introduced to West Africa through Sahrawi merchants. 1 1 century later, Moroccan Berbers invaded West Africa, and a series of wars since then probably accelerated the process of local residents accepting Islam. Islam in East Africa was introduced in the 9th century, which was closely related to the influence of the Arabs' commercial and slave trade activities in the coastal areas of the Indian Ocean. The influence of Islam in Africa is as wide as North Africa, Northeast Africa, West Africa, East Africa and Central Africa, covering almost half the continent. The total Muslim population in Africa has reached 65.438+89 billion (in the early 1980s), of which North Africa and Northeast Africa accounted for 46%, West Africa for 32%, East Africa for 654.38+08%, and Central Africa and Southern Africa only accounted for 3%.
