while there are many individual religions that are traditional African, they can be grouped together due to their similarities,
their beliefs are more action based, as opposed to a doctrine, meaning they live their beliefs, there is not an expected separation, such as this is how i behave and this is what i believe,
morality is often seen as obedience or disobedience to God, regarding the way a person or the community lives. The concept of God actively /currently sending people messages of God's will for them threw ancestors and spirits is common.

virtue is connected with the community and a persons social behavior : respect for parents and elders, appropriately raising children, providing hospitality, and being honest, trustworthy and courageous

i dont know if they had a definition of evil, other then that which isnt following God's way or good ways,
