This study investigates the monotheistic existence of God in African Religion, specifically among the Mumuye people of Taraba State, Nigeria. Through descriptive and analytic research methods, data were collected from field observations, focus group discussions, and literary sources. The research reveals that the concept of monotheism is an inherent phenomenon in African Religion, with God possessing moral attributes such as supremacy, holiness, infiniteness, justice, and mercy. The study argues that adherents of African Religion owe their existence to the monotheistic God, who is the sacred object of worship. It recommends that adherents respect and uphold the monotheistic belief in one God as the source and object of their worship. Despite the presence of multiple sects within African Religion, the concept of God as a Supreme Being, Holy, Infinite, Just, and Merciful remains a fundamental aspect of the faith. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of African Religion, highlighting the importance of monotheism in the faith. The research suggests that adherents of African Religion should tenaciously uphold their monotheistic beliefs, without being swayed by external influences. By doing so, they can maintain the integrity and uniqueness of their faith, while also promoting a deeper understanding of African Religion globally. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insights into the significance of monotheism in African Religion.
