Meaningless percentages.
My father's German, but was disowned for marrying a Black woman. Hence no commentary on ancient Prussian beliefs. Wouldn't know.
My mother's are (what is mistranslated as witch doctor), and maintained oral history of most spiritual matters.
As a European, my father finds the family business suspicious. Therefore my brother's a full on secularist, and my education stopped with my grandmother's death. I would confess it as a blessing, as when the spirits of this world began to notice me, the only recourse I knew was to turn to The Lord.
And to complete my TMI here, I'm also the anon with the Theosis fascination. Having no female heir, it falls to me to add to (or in my case reform) the craft. I personally think it would be the greatest honor to give The Lord a whole clan, though it may be a pipe dream to consider converting my cousins.
To summarize, and return to topic: We believe in God. Always have. Native and African beliefs meshed together well because they are based upon a semblance of reality. However, vanity and deception caused us to stray. The Lord completes our worldview, therefore both peoples took to Christianity with great fervor and deep belief.
(I would even describe it as knowledge for some. I've personally felt The Holy Spirit since childhood, but only recently learnt what faith means.)
