Religious Fetishisms

This word may sound strange to some of us however "Religious fetishism" was the religious system or believe practiced by the primitive society, the word fetish originated from the Portuguese word feitico and then to the Latin word facticuis, it means something unreal, fake or an object, so religious fetishism simply means the worship of inanimate objects, early civilization believed that certain object possess some kind of spiritual powers, the fetish religious system could be further broken down into Animism( the worship of Animals as gods) and Naturalism (worshiping of nature such as trees,streams,mountains, sun,moon) etc.
As civilization began to swept through society the people moved from fetishism to polytheism (believe in more than one god) and to monotheism (believe in only one God).
Though there are people who still practice this fetish religion so my question is this, do we consider them throw back's to early civilization?

Since society has transposed from that crude stage, or do we let them be since it is their believe and God is with them?remember before colonialism came to us there was nothing like Christianity/Islam, but the idea of God as a supreme being was not strange to the primitive society ,just like Muslims pray through Mohammed and Christians through Jesus Christ, Primitive Africans prayed through the small gods, so are we saying if we were never colonised and Christianity brought to us none of us would have been saved practicing our fetish religion, because as a Christian we believe that only through Christ that salvation is assured, if that is the case,it means none Christians will not make heaven, truly is heaven meant for only the believe of Christ?
