Abstract
Religious syncretism is a significant phenomenon in African diasporas, reflecting cultural adaptation and integration. Quantitative survey methodology was employed to gather data from participants in urban areas of Uganda. A notable theme emerged regarding the blending of indigenous beliefs with Christianity, influencing social practices such as ritual ceremonies. The findings highlight how diaspora members navigate their religious identities within Ugandan society. Further research should explore intergenerational perspectives on syncretic practices and their impact on youth identity formation.
