The spread of Christianity had a particularly negative effect since it forced Africans to give up their own identities and accept new ones, even though Africa had already created its own forms of trade and civilization under the influence of capitalist nations. Africans were baptized in the names of foreign gods and saints, and colonization was sold as a rise of humanity from its pre-existing condition.
