Afro-American religion:

[JAMMY]

Afro-American religions involve ancestor veneration, and include a supreme creator along with a pantheon of divine spirits, such as the Orisha, Loa, Nkisi, and Alusi, among others. In addition to the syncretism of these various African traditions, many New World religions incorporate elements of Indigenous American, European, Kardecist, Spiritualist, Christian, Islamic, Judaic, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions.
