You have to live among them, show interest, and show respect in trying to learn as much as you can. The deepest parts of any religion are usually only shared when the person who follows that religion trusts the person asking because they've spent a lot of time together, and know you're not going to make fun of them or mock it.

Answered Question
Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.
When visiting Africa, how do you try to learn the native superstititious beliefs and value systems of the native tribes?
They expect you were already informred about this stuff, but how do you learn what they believe in if they wont tell you directly?
