 Caribbean Religion: Creole | caribbean-guide.info
These Creole religions were most often practiced on French and Spanish islands where Roman Catholicism was the religion of the whites.
However, this dual-personality meant that these saints acted as little more than white masks for their African deities, and the symbols associated with the gods and goddesses were then associated with the saints.
Each Creole religion has its own names for its deities, but these names often represent the same African god and may be represented by the same saints as well.

The Lesser Antilles (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, etc.) were colonized in 1635, and many of the islands still use French creoles, even when change of ownership led to the imposition of English as the official language.
French creoles also are used in French Guiana and, though dying out, in the U.S. state of Louisiana; Haitian immigrants also account for a large number of the French creole speakers in the United States.
In Africa, Portuguese creoles are used by more than 450,000 people in Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, the Cape Verde Islands, and some Gulf of Guinea islands (Annobn in Equatorial Guinea, where it is losing ground to Spanish, and S o Tom and Pr ncipe, where more than four-fifths of the 125,000 inhabitants speak creole dialects).

In 1635 the French claimed the island and sent missionaries, but were unable to wrench Dominica from the Caribs.
