    It's easier to convert people who practice ooga-booga folk religions than it is to convert people who practice religions with sophisticated theologies. That's why Europeans had little luck in converting people in North Africa, the Sahel, and the Swahili coast (which were already Muslim) but were very successful in converting people in the non-Muslim parts of Africa. It's also why Filipinos adopted Christianity but other SEAsians (who were Muslim or Buddhist) didn't.

        >Why did south korea convert so easily?
        Buddhism was basically dead in Korea by the 19th century because it was suppressed by the Joseon Dynasty. It was reintroduced by the Japanese, but most people still weren't devout Buddhists when European missionaries arrived. Also, some Korean nationalists adopted Christianity because it was seen as a non-Japanese religion, unlike Buddhism.
        >Why didn't india convert?
        Hinduism is not an ooga-booga folk religion. The parts of India that practiced ooga-booga folk religions, in the northeastern region of the country, did mostly convert to Christianity.

            The state ideology was Confucianism. However, unlike in China, where Confucianism and Buddhism were able to coexist and influence each other, Joseon Korea persecuted Buddhists for deviating from Confucianist orthodoxy. Many Koreans during that time period also practiced traditional shamanism, though this declined under Joseon rule as well.

        Because India for the most part wasn't directly controlled by the British. It was made up of princely states who all had a joint arrangement under the Raj. Part of these arrangements included clauses that limited or banned evangelism. For example when the British annexed the kingdom of Kandi the following clause was added.
        >The religion of Buddhism is declared inviolable and its rights to be maintained and protected.

      Nah the Serer btfo Islam multiple times and they were pagan as frick. The only reason Christianity spread in Africa so hard was because getting anywhere required to to get constant exposure to it. If you wanted to go to school you had to go to a missionary school, if you wanted a better status you had to convert. On top of that local African faith (complex in their own right) face constant persecution and crackdowns with priests getting targeted, missionaries destroying religious artifacts and items as well as other means.

      The decline of African faiths underwent the same path Coptic Christianity declined in Egypt.

      Mental health & neuro-psychological assessment of the typical politically incorrect poster

      Pepe Frog,MD,MPH,PhD,Wojack Feels Guy,MD

      Every five or so threads created on the board witnesses one discussing Black folks, and even threads with nothing pertaining to them will usually have an anon who feels it necessary to drag them into the discourse.Behind all the hate; the monkey and KANGZ memes,Tyrone"sheeit" comics,gifs,demotivational pics,and webms -/pol/users secretly have a grudging respect,bordering on admiration,for the Black.Although if one were to ask them directly,they would vehemently deny the claim with all the passion of a demure,besotted teenager.

      The nature of their fixation?The raw brass confident masculinity they possess which is derisively compared to feral beasts,and yet at the same time acknowledged is what women truly desire at their core and what is lacking in many white heterosexual unions.The intrinsic ruggedness that enables them to stamp their mark on any field of physical endeavor.The amazing sense of rhythm they naturally seem to possess,derisively likened to ape gesticulations,and yet is oh so majestic to witness and enthusiastically imitated.

      Then there is the stereotype of the black man's sexuality,particularly his phallus.It has become a prodigious protuberance of myth and legend.There is a reason that r/AsianMasculinity trolls are laughed off while BBC and BLACKED generates anger and solemn disdain.For,to the /misc/yp,where the Asian man's masculinity is considered a joke the black man's is a threat to be taken with utmost seriousness;for there may be a kernel of truth to it.Is it a coincidence that, of all the races of men,it is the Black whose virile masculinity has become a meme that literally cannot be completed with?

      Based on our assessment Dr. Wojack and I have concluded that /misc/ is a board populated with manic depressive autistic schizoid individuals afflicted with a Jungian-Pavlovian psycho-pathological Black-complex.

            It eventually ends up a little silly when the Christianity they're getting is already mixed with paganism, so eventually you have people practicing something that amounts to 90% Paganism and only 10% Semitic monotheism.

          There are some exceptions, A range of Great Lakes, Sudanic and Congolese groups lack a central creator spirit/entity.
          Notably, much of the Niger Delta groups share the common motif that said creator spirit has secondarily acquired a personification over time.
          A range of Congo basin groups treat the subject as aniconic if they have such a concept at all.
          It's difficult to tell which parts of Cushitic quasi-montheistic figures such as Waaq were true deities, or rather they secondarily acquired the characteristics of omnipotence via syncretization of other Afroasiatic faiths.

          But put simply, Africa below the sahel had the largest concentration of Monotheistic faith historically, before the advent of Islam and Christianisation

        At least a few parts of Africa were already Christian before Europeans tried to convert them. Not sure if that had an effect, but it's pretty evident in how their interpretations of Christianity differ from European interpretations.

        Main reasons are.
        1:It's hard as frick to convert other abrahamics unless you force them,
        2, Hindus will not convert unless they are Untouchables or some shit like that. Never.
        3:China japan and korea banned christianity for being too disruptive to their stagnant systems.
        This essentially rules out most of maritime asia. But they still converted a fewplaces. The philipines, Timor, Papua. Nagaland and those places are very baptists nowadays and korea is also kind of christian after the americans got to them.

        Koreans have been Christian since before colonization by Japan. Japanese colonization unintentionally encouraged Koreans to become more Christian because Japan was anti Abrahamic, and Koreans saw Christianity as a way of rebellion

        Pretty grim. No wonder so many Chinks and Koreans fell for the communism meme: they had already had experience living under a soulless state ideology.

        Confucianism wasn't a state ideology except maybe in the Tang Dynasty which was a disaster for Buddhism and minority faiths in China

        >Goa. In the Caribbean, Indians also converted to Christianity.
        Fair enough.
        But India as a whole will never abandon hinduism.

        There is a NSFW continuation though, check out the original thread it was posted in on tbharchive
        The drawgay also promised more stuff in general but had the pace of a slug so the thread just got autosaged to death before he could post anything else

      It really casts doubt on the common theist claim that all people ever were religious, when it appears that many hunter-gatherers and small-scale societies are actually atheistic, which would be all of humanity at one point.

        It’s logical. Religion is a byproduct of social organization and cohesion : a smaller, less civilized group will have less of a need for spirits and gods, than a city state, than an Empire.

        It usually goes like this : spiritualist>primitive fetishism/totemism>polytheism>Monotheism or prime deity>secular humanism(whichever form it takes)

          I recall the most basic groups like the Piraha don't even recognise spirits, they believe only that which they can personally verify and are highly skeptical.
