Abstract
The confrontation of isolated societies with the modern world gave rise to certain tensions and confusions and this was nowhere more true than in Africa. The way Europeans saw Africans and their way of life, their religions and social mores was to have a profound impact upon the development of the African continent. Further confusion was to be generated by the amalgamation of traditional African and European or modern elements. These processes may be seen to have started right at the outset of colonial intervention. One of the key areas of confusion was religion.
