Religion and culture are such big components of each other, a lot of the time they seep into each other seamlessly, and some ideas get co-opted into the other.
Which is why it’s quite funny to me when as Africans, we bring our own prejudices to the white man’s religion we have co-opted; and then proceed to think we know the religion much better than the people who made it their mission to spread it around the world- whether through persuasion or by the sword.
