So, in my ethnic group, there is a saying that saying, culture is "Godliness/religion" or "Unduire ni Ungai". Most African cultures, were also their religion. There was no separation of the two. Unlike, for example.. Christianity, where you can be wicked and evil during the week, and show up to church on Sunday wearing a suit (like some of our most corrupt people do) and ask God for forgiveness, and come Monday, go back to swindling the country.
The single most important thing in most African cultures, is the religious ceremonies (Magogona), which put the ethnic group (I'll speak for Kikuyu's) in communion with God, and those that had departed. (ngomi).
Heaven and hell do not (I didn't say "did not") in the Kikuyu religion. That was a foreign concept, brought to us by you know who.
I could go on an on about Kikuyu religion, but there are several good books that get into this topic:
