Many African tribes had developed a belief in a single Creator-God before any of the "Western Religions." While they also believed that spirits existed -- i.e. ancestral spirits, animal spirits, forest spirits, etc, the World was the result of one creator God.

Shinto believes in one sun goddess, but "the 8 million kami." In any event, I said "for the region."
