What if the three major monotheistic religions all had African roots? Why is this something no one really talks about?
Does God belong to a culture, a race, a tradition? Or is He a universal answer to a quest shared by all human beings, regardless of where they were born? These questions are unsettling. They challenge inherited certainties, identities built on beliefs that no one has ever had the courage to openly question.
In this episode of Funeral of Taboos, we delve into the heart of a philosophical, theological, and historical debate as profound as it is necessary. Our guests deconstruct preconceived notions about Islam, Christianity, and Judaism—and reveal their often-ignored connections to the African continent. Because before being identity-based religions, these traditions were born in a geographical and human space that directly touches upon the history of Africa.
We also explore the role of African spiritual traditions in shaping universal values: justice, the unity of humankind, and the fight against oppression. These values predate modern religious categories and could serve as the foundation for a strong, enlightened, and sovereign African project.
Philosophy, anthropology, history, and spirituality intersect in a unique exchange, free from dogma and taboo.
Because understanding where God comes from is also understanding where we come from.
