At the present time, it seems that Christianity is bigger in Black Africa than in any other part of the world. But isn't there a sense in which, from an African point of view, Christianity is the religion of the oppressor? On the other hand, some African Christians (such as Desmond Tutu) have argued that Christ's teachings are contrary to what the "Christian" colonialists were doing. So a kind of liberation theology has arisen in Africa. Also, it is apparently not at all unusual for Black Africans to blend Christianity with indigenous religious concepts.
