Are there still indigenous religions practiced today?

As long as there are indigenous peoples then there will be some form of their original religion practiced.  I know that it has been discouraged over the years but there are some going back to their origins and bringing back the old customs and beliefs such as with many American Indian tribes.  I have gleaned this through my studies in Anthropology (that was my major in college) and from my interest in American Indian cultures.

Not in Bible. I thought the Catholics stopped that practice on the 60's? Maybe some still do? They are not consistent from place to place-but who else is.

Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship with God. Of course it's up-to-date. The Holy Spirit guides us and helps us apply the Bible to our daily lives.

Yes there are.  Look around any of the better universities and you'll find many students from India in graduate school, many are Hindu, not all.  In my student days I knew a number of devout Hindus in the upper Midwest and some gathered together for social and/or religious celebrations frequently.

no. yes. Originally, the religions allowed us to have civilization.\nWithout them, we would still be living in tribal or feudal warfare states. However, they have become sick and abused paradigms,\nand we should junk the whole lot of them in favor of modern sociology and civil engineering and ethics and psychology.

From the bottom:\n\nChristianity ISN'T the oldest religion. This is a FACT. For one thing, it's a splinter sect of Judaism, so that had to come first.\n\nWe never called a man 'God' - there was one we called 'Jesus', who may or may not have been the Son of God and possibly part of a Holy Trinity meaning he also was God...but we never actually CALLED him 'God'.\n\nI've only ever been to the USA for a week-long holiday, so I don't think I can accurately judge what can be accomplished there.

Hinduism. it still includes mother goddess, sun, fire worship and shamans. \n\nwe call it Sanatana dharma. it includes most ancient traditions. yet always modifying itself according to changing ideas. still retaining old traditions and beliefs.\n\nstill for religious practices pots made of bronze are supposed auspicious. that was the first metal man used. \n\nHinduism has a continuous evolution tradition. but it never negated or disregarded earlier beliefs. it just modifies them. \n\nyou want to study religious evolution of man study hinduism. it will go back to stone age and latest off shoot of hinduism Sikh Panth is hardly 400 yers old.

Although cultures and societies change, principles never change.  They withstand the test of time.  My personal thought is that religions are humankind's reflection of God, and when we put them in a historical perspective, we can learn very much from them.\n\nGood luck.  You're on the right track!

Some of the tribe kept their beliefs in patches, but almost all Native Americans were either killed or converted to Christianity like my Cherokee ancestors.\n\nhttp://www.cherokeebyblood.com/religion.htm#B\nhttp://www.meta-religion.com/World_Religions/Ancient_religions/North_america/navajo_religion.htm

The Roman Emperor Constantine ordered the closure of all pagan temples, the Vestal Virgins were driven out of their home, the Delphic Oracle banned, the Olympics (which were heavily involved with pagan religion) ended.  It is said that in backwoods and remote rural areas worship of the old gods persisted for several centuries, but as the Church gained power, these were gradually quashed.  The Church made a few compromises, such as saint's days and other holy days that coincided with dates important in the old religion.  The last pagans in Europe were in the Baltic area into northeastern Poland, and were quashed as late as the Thirteenth Century.

Here's some general answers.  \nMaybe you were looking for more specific connections.\n\nBoth are heavily impacted by US cultural values\n\nBoth would be considered highly religious countries\n\nBoth are dealing with issues related to developing natural resources without disturbing the rights of the indigenous people.

I don't think there's an increase in the number of people practicing these religions, per se.  I think it's just more widely talked about these days than in the past.  It's kind of like saying there are more gay people now than in the past.  That's not true, either, it's just that more people aren't afraid to admit their gay as they were in the past.

Wicca is a Neopagan religious movement found in many different countries, though most commonly in English-speaking cultures. Wicca was first publicised in 1954 after the repeal of the British Witchcraft Act, by a British civil servant named Gerald Gardner. He claimed that the religion, of which he was an initiate, was a modern survival of an old witch cult, which had existed in secret for hundreds of years, originating in the pre-Christian Paganism of Europe. Wicca is thus sometimes referred to as the Old Religion. The veracity of Gardner's claims is now much debated, and it is thought that much if not all of Wiccan theology was established no earlier than the 1920s. Since its founding, various related Wiccan traditions have evolved, or been adapted from, the form established by Gardner, which came to be called Gardnerian Wicca. These other traditions of Wicca each have specific beliefs, rituals, and practices. Most traditions of Wicca remain secretive and require members to be initiated, however there is a growing movement of Eclectic or Solitary Wiccans who adhere to the religion but do not believe a traditional initiation is necessary. Gardnerian Wicca is perhaps the most popular of the traditions excepting Solitary Wicca. you can find more information also in the address that i give you
