Vodou is a religion that is mainly practiced in Haiti. Their Supreme diety is "Bondye." The deity is believed to have a lesser subordinate called "loa," the spirits of the religion. Loa acts as a mediator between Haitian people and Bondye. The term "vodou" shouldn't be replaced with the word "vodoo."

They believe in one God, "Jah," this is a short name for "Yahweh." They also believe that Jesus Christ is the reincarnation of Jah. Many of the practitioners belong to ethnic groups. According to this religion, a person's understanding or intuition is the basis for validating a certain practice.

3. Santeria, C. Cuba

Santeria is a religion that developed in Cuba, a country located in the northern Caribbean. This religion was highly influenced by Roman Catholicism, in terms of belief in "saints." It doesn't follow a system of beliefs. They mainly focus on their rituals and ceremonies, particularly for those people who want to become part of Santeria. Other than Cuba, the religion is also practiced in Puerto Rico, Colombia, Panama and other Latin countries.
