Africans weren't practicing Christianity before slavery and colonialism.
They were converted once they were brought to the West

I thought this was common knowledge 
it is May
when?s the last time you?ve been to church btw?
Honestly, it's been years.
My family believes in God but we have never been overly religious, perched in church every Sunday.
My whole religious foundation in Christianity is due to what I was taught growing up. Even though I don't come from a super religious family, I was always taught to respect the word of God.
However, as I have began seeing the world as an adult through my own eyes I no longer believe that God is what we were taught in church. All that fire & brimstone mess is for the birds.
For me God is love & respect. I try to live my life by that principle. I don't abide by the rules of a Bible that has been manipulated and passed down for generations as a tool to control others.
I follow my heart and work to be a good person. It's not always easy, but that's life.
At the end of the day that's what I believe God is.
