At base, a variety of Baptist, but it extends into teaching of business skills so shouter areas tend to be a little more functional and orderly compared to the Voudoun rest of the country. Voudoun (voodoo people) hate Shouters. Haiti was nominally Catholic until their revolution in the late 18th century, at which point whites were mostly slaughtered, those who weren’t were driven out. They cut all ties with the Roman Catholic Church while maintaining the church organizational structure, which became increasingly syncretistic containing animistic “gods” in the guise of saints. Voodoo.
