As far as religion...
American slaves were robbed of there culture...and their Gods were killed. (like the drama  )
Most converted to a bastardized version of Christianity, which had a powerful effect on self-image.
So, I agree if that's what you were talking about in regards to Christianity and America.
I'd probably get killed for it, but one of the biggest problems in Black America besides negative self-images and portrals...is the church.
Fucking baffons like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson...where do they get their pseudo authority.

Look, the African slave trade was in full force millenia before there was a U.S. Notice however abolishment began to occur soon as the Revolutionary War was under way and 80 years later done.
Europeans, Asians, Africans were all into the slave trade on BOTH sides of the fence.
Religion was used as a justifier for it by greedy men and women and institutions.
