African Conversion


I found it interesting that so many Africans were converted to Christianity so quickly after being taken as slaves.  Both Crowther and Equiano mention having religions of their own from their homes in Africa, and yet they both became very devoted Christians.  Did it have something to do with being kidnapped at such a young age?  Did they have something to gain by taking up the religion of their masters?
