One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

The nature of African Religion

The nature of African Religion focuses on what makes religion in African societies distinctive: its close link with daily life, community, morality, the spirit world, and practical human concerns. For exam purposes, you must master its main features, understand that it is lived rather than merely theoretical, and avoid reducing it to superstition or treating Africa as if all societies are identical.
