Thank you Mr. James from Philly for your response and commentary. In reply, it is equally an illumination on one's ignorance to comment in the way you did without first, at least, asking about how African people define "deity" (in general) and "god" (in particular). Let's take a basic definition of a "atheism" from Wiki.
Provided the above, it is clear that one could not be an atheist, for example, in the Bakongo, Kalenjiin, Amazulu, Akan, or ancient Egyptian belief systems. "God" is defined in these wisdom-traditions as "existence itself." God is described as an "infinity." Therefore, nothing can exist outside the Infinity: everything exists within the Infinity (there is no such thing as supernatural). Since God is 'existence' (e.g., Ukobo in isiZulu), then you cannot be an a-theist in these traditions because one cannot exist and then deny that existence doesn't exist, even one's very own existence. The point being is that Black people have entered many European arguments uncritically and have adopted their worldview and labels. In a tradition where God is existence itself, then one cannot exist (as a part of the existant) and then deny one's own existence, and by extention God itself.
You have a good day sir.
