Abstract

Religious culture in some countries have become a thorn in the flesh of its practitioners. But in Bolgatanga Municipality the situation has a different characteristic of tolerance. Against this background that the perspectives of religious tolerance and repercussions on Indigenous Frafra religious culture was chosen as the theme. The study examined the foreign the presence relationship between religious diversity with the indigenous religious cultural practices to determine the position of indigenous religion. Among the findings were several counts of Christian and Islamic temples. The traditional religious mediums were found to be in shambles as majority of the indigenes had abandoned the practice. The levels of deterioration of the religious mediums comprising constructed structures and groves of foliage, were evident enough to conclude on the position of indigenous religion compared to the adopted ones. The Chris-Mu-dominant custodians of the land of the municipality were found to have nurtured a new culture of religious practice termed by the study as Chris-Mu-Tradic. The objective of the study was achieved.
