"Black Americans were evangelized by the whites who brought them to the U.S"
What is the source for this? It is my understanding that little to no attempt was made to convert the newly enslaved Africans to Christiantiy and indeed what little efforts there were were met with open resistence by the black Americans. It wasn't until the First Great Awakening that blacks converted en masse to Christianity and then it largely occured under the terms of the blacks themselves. Cg-realms 19:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

POV problem
Assertions like "In modern society religion plays a more evident role in the lives of African Americans than among their white counterparts" and "emphasizing emotion and repetition more intensely than Anglo religious music" are dubious at best and could be construed as racist at worst. It is impossible to ascribe a greater emotional intensity or life importance with respect to religion to one "race" over another. Racial simplification and generalization do no justice to this subject. Askari Mark (Talk) 04:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Black America
Since when is this a term for anything? Ruddah (talk) 15:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, what kind of title is this? It should be "Religion among African Americans". 72.46.217.176 (talk) 22:54, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
