I think that life before Christianity and Islam was tough. For one, many religions, such as these two above, follow a golden rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Simply following this rule could avoid a lot of conflict. Second, the 5 pillars of Islam- Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting, and Pilgrimage, also helps keep balance. Religions such as these brought guidance as well as promoted peace/social solidarity. These religions also helped end slavery in some areas and the abusement of women.

Life in Africa before Christianity was probably difficult because no one really cared about anyone else and they didn't have anyone to lead.

Before Islam I think , life was tough . I think women were disrespected way more and ,men treated them more like pets than human - beings . Also , I think social classes were still the same , such as upper , middle , & lower classes .

Life in Africa before Christianity is dangerous. Because people didn't have morals.

I think life in Africa wasn't bad because they had resource to make it though life. Life was also harsh because they didn't have moral and rules to live by.

I believe in Africa before Christianity and Islam there was no social class because there was no people being categorized based on my knowledge before religion. I also believe that people had to work together to survive because they didn't have the resources we have today.

I think that life was pretty terrible for Africa before Christianity and Islam. I believe this because there was so many different gods and people probably had wars and big fights with each other over religion. Also poor people were probably treated like trash so it was really hard for every one that's what  think.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that life in Africa before Christianity or Islamism was rough. People were treated equally according to there cultural religion which wasn't always fair. Most tribe worshiped their ancestors or spirits.

I think that life was horrible for them before Islam was introduced. I thin it was horrible because everybody was probably fighting over the religions and different gods. The women were probably treated horribly by the men and kings. The poor people were probably forced to hard labor.

i believe that life in Africa without Christianity or Islam

I believe that life in Africa wasn't tragic and hard because nobody was specifically arguing about any god or religion especially women because they are usually fierce about religion and the poor would be likely to kill themselves because they would have no purpose to live for....

I believe that life in Africa with out Christianity was not good because they would have never had food to eat or water to drink as well and also people didn't have any peace as well

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that life in Africa with out Christianity or Islam was rough. I believe this because those religions gave order to how the society would run . Without order, life in Africa would have been a complete disaster. Christianity helped to organize people into what they believed in. I think that there would have been a lot more people in poverty. I also think that there would be a lot of homeless children and the treatment of women would be extremely harsh.

I think Africa was not a good place to go if you was poor because the people with more money might have treated the poor people like they was trash & like they didn't belong.

I think life in that time wasn't so great because the poor had it worst than others, and the females ,and orphans .

I think people were fine before people had to be

I believe that life was difficult for the women, orphans and poor, because there where people who treated the poor badly because to put your self in a place to associate with somebody that low on the scale would mean you would give up your pride and dignity to serve somebody below you so nobody would have respect for you.

I think before Christianity and Islam, Africa was a bad place to go if you was poor. The rich and wealthy people probably treated the poor people bad, especially women because they didn't have to follow no rules and they thought they had advantages over them.

Based on the background knowledge I have on Africa I believe that Africa was better off without Christianity and Islam. Even though it has many benefits, it also has brought and caused great pain and struggle to African people including me.

Well what i think life in Africa, wasn't as Advanced,as it should have been, and when they had classes the lower classes were treated as garbage and were thought as inferior.

I believe that before Christianity and Islam,Africa was very difficult in terms of economy,living situations,and equality.My reasoning for this prediction for this is based on some things I already know about this topic and also from my handy dandy workbook ッ.From what i already know is they don't respect there women the same way the respect other men.They where raped,slaughtered,etc.If u were poor during this time or an orphan you were looked down upon or looked over like you were nothing.There where also lots of wars going back and forth trying to conquer there land,and slave trade increased a ton during this exact period of this time of the wars

I think that before before Christianity and Islam, Africa was harsh because people didn't  have a good set of rules. So the women probably were treated really badly  and treated as the inferior gender. Also the rich or upper class probably treated the poor as little to nothing.  Society without religion probably brought out a lot of disagreement.

Before Christianity and Islam I believe that life in Africa wasn't as civilized as when the religions were introduced. Empires ruled without knowledge and assuming that there were always social classes depending on appearance bottom feeders were also without knowledge. This shows how Africa couldn't have been a such well put together community. Studies have shown that religion creates bonds and brings clarity.

"Any serious consideration of traditional African religion focused primarily on ancient Egypt, which many scholars one by one removed their-selves from the rest of Africa". I believe that they each focused on their own beliefs and tried to make their own social class. Also some religions required sacrifice, and there was a hierarchy between women and men in Africa. Also Africa had religions already set up before Islam and Christianity came around. But my question is if they already had religions did they convert to a different religion or were they in two religions.

I believe that Africa before Christianity and Islam came about life was harsh on a lot of people for different reasons. I think that because woman probably were not treated the same as other they probably were considered lower or under. I think that because it was nothing to tell the people that they weren't equal as men. I think that the poor people were also treated harsh because in almost every society the poor has been treated bad or wrong. They were treated wrong because they did not have as much as other even if others did not have much they had more then the poor.

I believe that life before Christianity and Islam was harsh on women because they might have been thought of as less than, i also believe orphans and poor were treated harshly because didnt have claim to a family which made them worthless and poor were horribly because they were the bottom of the caste.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that life in Africa before Christianity and Islam was peaceful. I say this because as we have studied upon the arrival of the two religions a lot of wars were started which meant more killing. Now it is important that the women were being mistreated, but when the religions arrived the women were being raped and slaughtered because of their religion.

I believe that life before Christianity and Islam was all about surviving, sacrificing and murderous rituals because they did not have no major religions back then, and they worshiped the story of gods which led to many rituals where you had to sacrifice human blood to gain prosperity or boons from the gods.

I believe that before Christianity and Islam would so become the major religions of Africa they had a very difficult structure in terms of the social classes ad the treatment of women. Back then they treated the women like animals and most of the Africans were poor. As we look at it in this day of age we see that with the newly found religions of Christianity and Islam the treatment of women have increased rapidly and the social classes are close to none. Since the poor would be at the bottom of the social class they were treated the worst since they were not as high up as the other classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that life was difficult for the women, orphans and poor, because there where people who treated the poor badly because to put your self in a place to associate with somebody that low on the scale would mean you would give up your pride and dignity to serve somebody below you so nobody would have respect for you. For women it was difficult because the men saw them as low because they couldn't fight for themselves because they worn't as strong as the men. For orphans it was really hard because they didn't have parents to look after them which meant they would be trying to steal and always get into trouble with the guards.
