So you mean to tell me that before Europe invaded native lands across the globe and forced Christianity down their most of their throats, brutally by the way, all native were savages with no concept of ? or worship. I find that very hard to believe.

Speak on it.

    Maybe the natives were savages...but to say they had no concept of a deity is another thing. Maybe, like the accusations of Europe, their perception of a deity has made them savages.

    Native people were just as in tune with spirituality and a "higher power" than the Christians were, if not more so.

The Slaves were Left to they Native Religion, Sometime After What is Referred to as The Great Awaking that all Changed & As Each Generation was Born a Part of Being American was Accepting Your Master's Religion til What Came 1st the Chicken or the Egg was a Mystery & Hence Here we are
