 Spiritualism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The origin of Spiritualism is commonly considered to be the Modern Spiritualist movement of the 19th century United States.
Spiritualism in its modern incarnation started in the mid-19th century in the United States, a syncretic adjunct of largely Christian population.
However, Spiritualism is distinct from Spiritism and its offshoots, New Age movements that practise otherwise similar mediumship as channeling, and the broader concept of spirituality.

Spiritualism as a religion got its start in the US in the 1840s and reached its greatest peak in membership in the 1860s.
Originally Spiritualism was allied with radical political goals, including female suffrage and the abolition of slavery.
The same is true of Christianity -- some Christian denominations adopted Spiritualism to such a great extent that they now identify as Spiritual Churches, while other Spiritualists work outside the Christian framework entirely, and yet a thrid group of Christians (the majority of them, obviously) refuse to admit ANY Spiritualist influences.

 biology - Spiritism
Spiritism is a generic term for various beliefs that claim the existence of immortal souls that can somehow be communicated with and interact with the real world (often through channeling) even after death.
Often the word is used specifically to indicate Kardecist Spiritism, a religion founded by Allan Kardec in the late 19th century.
In fact it is a neologism created by Allan Kardec to distinguish the doctrine of the spirits (which is based on Christianity) from the other spiritualist doctrines.

 Macumba
Many initiatives, independent of hierarchical control, made possible a rapport between elements of Catholicism, Kardecist Spiritualism and Afro-Brazilian traditions.
A new religious genealogy emerged from this confusion, but showed that it was divided between the names "Umbanda" and "Quimbanda" or, more popularly, "Macumba".
Such powers are usually discarded by official ideologies, but find a home in Umbanda, where they can give a positive meaning to experience and destiny.

 Afro-American religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Afro-American religions are a number of related religions that developed in the Americas among African slaves and their descendants in various countries of the Caribbean Islands, South America and parts of the southern United States.
These religions are generally based on the African concept of divine spirit — the Orishas of the Yoruba, the Inkices of Bantu traditons, and the Voduns of Dahomey — often combined with European concepts such as Catholic saints, Kardecist spirits, and sometimes Native American deities.

Some branches of palo (the term paleros use is ramas) use espiritismo but keep it strictly separate from their palo practices.

 The Christian Century: Brazilian church builds an international empire... @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
African beliefs have survived centuries of opposition from the Catholic Church and European cultural norms that operated in tandem with slavery.
Out of these divergent influences emerged Umbanda--a syncretic mixture of Candomble (known in the U.S. as Santeria), Roman Catholicism, and Kardecist spiritualism in which practitioners often enter into a trance and receive spirits.
The flexibility of Brazilian culture has helped the Universal Church achieve an historic turnabout for Latin America: after absorbing foreign spiritual influences for centuries, the area is now exporting its own unique religion.
