I think what you have posted here is the Romanization of African religion as well as an attempt to redefine the word religion.
If Africans recognized the futility in spiritual divisiveness they would not have tribal conflicts. Tribalism as far as I know has always been central to African spirituality. So much so that the word that eludes you for religion in Africa languages is tribe.
Before you start rewriting African history take some time to find out what worlds are used in African translations. You will find that the words used simply to say heaven or earth, are the same words that were used to name gods. This makes for a very entertaining reading of the bible.
If you want something fascinating about African languages, Bantu languages have no words for he and she.
