      That’s a reductive take. It assumes African Christians only hold their faith because of colonizers and denies us our own agency. Ethiopia, for example, adopted Christianity as a state religion in the 4th century, long before European colonization. Millions of Africans choose their faith consciously

         And they would be correct. Most people never "chose" their beliefs. It was systematically embedded by people who have had power over them.

            How did you chose your religion?
