Algeria has only one form of religion that may be called "native." That is paganism.

It left Algeria and France deeply scarred, and the French Army at the breaking point: it destroyed the Fourth Republic and hundreds of thousands of lives and careers, and it brought the French military to the verge of coup d’etat.

The French fought the rural war in Algeria in the context of a system of “quadrillage”, where cities, towns and villages were protected by a static defence force in an attempt to deny support to the rebels.
