      real talk, if Wakanda really existed there's almost no way they wouldn't reject Christianity, culturally or otherwise, as an imperial cult

      Oh absolutely. Isn't it textually non-Christian? (Kind of wish they had represented a real world major religion of the region)

      There is an official state religion around the goddess Bast, who supposedly led the Five Tribes to the Gift (the vibranium meteorite) in the first place and who bestowed the mantle of Black Panther on her chosen champion, from whom the royal family descends

      Zuri, who is the master of ceremonies at the ritual combat for the throne, is the High Priest of Bast The Jabari broke from the other tribes partly because they have their own religion, led by the monkey god Hanuman, who said that Bast's Gift was a test passed by rejecting it

      Bast is an Egyptian deity irl and Hanuman a Hindu deity, of course But I headcanon that like many other cultures Wakandans have syncretized their deities with other countries', at least for the purpose of explaining their beliefs to outsiders (on the rare occasion it comes up)

      The funny thing is that these are the circumstances where I'd find Christianity MOST appealing.

      It would be difficult to police if they're getting lots of mass media from the outside world, which by the modern era definitely seems to be the case But the state could definitely crack down on *organized* religion, if not all "heretical" religious expression

      Well, yeah, but that would just make me want to do it more. The king has some special relationship with god that nobody else can see? It's time to smash some idols.

      Well yeah but there's going to be a natural incentive not to do this when Wakandans are aware how much wealthier and better off than literally anyone else in the world

          I mean, that's true, but they said that about the Romans, too.

          Kidding aside though - this is the kind of god-king cult environment that was historically very fertile for the growth of monotheistic religions, particularly Christianity and Islam.

          W'Kabi's rebellion and motivation for joining Killmonger wasn't about relative privation, it was about fear of Wakanda as a whole losing its privilege "The world is catching up! Klauwe was the first, others will follow!" etc
