This Element focuses on drawing attention to African Traditional Religion a major world religion that has been much neglected by scholars around the globe, particularly those working in the West or Northern Hemisphere.
The Abrahamic faiths of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are typically recognized as the world's major monotheistic religions. However, African Traditional Religion is, despite often including lesser spirits and gods, a monotheistic religion with numerous adherents in sub-Saharan Africa; it includes the idea of a single most powerful God responsible for the creation and sustenance of everything else. This Element focuses on drawing attention to this major world religion that has been much neglected by scholars around the globe, particularly those working in the West or Northern Hemisphere. It accomplishes this primarily by bringing it into conversation with topics in the Anglo-American philosophy of religion.

1. Towards a global philosophy of religion; 2. What is African traditional religion?; 3. Arguments against the existence of god; 4. Arguments against the existence of god; 5. African religious ethics; 6. The afterlife; 7. Only the beginning for global philosophy of religion.
