It is possible to view the Yoruba religion as both a social movement and a religion.

Yoruba-derived faiths in the Americas served as means of protecting African cultural legacy and opposing oppression, frequently by means of covert activities and blending in with Christianity or other popular faiths. In addition to being a religious tradition, Yoruba religion is also a social movement as interest in it and its diasporic forms reflects a form of cultural reclamation and affirmation of African identity today (Fábregas García, 2016).
