[Describing ATR, in the sense of its/their origins, tends to be difficult in that they cannot be traced to any one particular group of people. Africa is not a continent with people sharing common traditions and so the religions of Africa, although they come under the umbrella of traditional religions, are varied in many respects. However, ATR does have universal points. Hallett suggests, “Yet, every religion, not only the so-called historical religions, has a history behind it insofar as it must have been shaped by the thoughts and actions of individual men and women.”1]
