Bantu religion

Bantu religion is the system of beliefs and legends of the Bantu people of Africa. Although Bantu peoples account for several hundred different ethnic groups, there is a high degree of homogeneity in Bantu cultures and customs, just as in Bantu languages.^[1] Many Bantu cultures traditionally believed in a supreme god whose name is a variation of Nyambe/Nzambe.^[2]

The phrase "Bantu tradition" usually refers to the common, recurring themes that are found in all, or most, Bantu cultures across Africa.^[3]
