Moreover, European religions such as Catholicism in the Latin Caribbean and the Church of England in the Anglo-Caribbean were imposed on the indigenous religious of Amerindian peoples of the Caribbean and those of the imported African slaves. Although Caribbean religions are legacies of the colonial order, they continue to occupy important social positions across all the social classes. Catholic and Anglican imposition contributed to the creation of hybrid or syncretic amalgamations for the vast majority of people who incorporated the European dominant modes into their own beliefs and practices.
