Of course, that's what I was trying to say in my first post in this thread. I am quite well read into West African religion in general, and personally, if I have to choose, I prefer voodoo beliefs over the major monotheistic religions simply because most voodoo beliefs are not at all related to missionary activities and converting others, and it is usually not exclusive and hierachical in its structure. In other words - it is generally less harmful to other people.
