Judaism also has roots in Africa, due to the time the Israelites spent in Egypt before the Exodus. Around 15% of Africans follow one of the traditional African religions and a small minority of Africans are non-religious. The original religions of Africa have been declining over the past century due to the influences of colonialism, acculturation and increasing proselytizing by Christianity and Islam. However, in the Americas and Caribbean, syncretistic religions involving African religions are growing. Religious adherents in Africa are often of a syncretic nature.
