Although Haiti does practice voodoo, it is still a religion and should not be judged or frowned upon. There are many different religions around the world with different values, morals and cultural practices, all of which others may not believe in or agree with, but all in all they are a person's religion. In the end, it is the stigma of the idea of voodoo as an satanic, evil practice when really it encompasses certain features of the Catholic religion. People must elude for the mind set of voodoo as this unearthly practice and begin to realize its true nature, that of a connection to the spirits around them to free others and their souls from the evil spirits stuck on this planet. If you do not believe in it, that's fine, but do not judge others, especially when you're judgement is uninformed or uneducated!
