I agree with the guy that posted saying that its more like catholicism and episcopalianism. From what I can tell its the exact same rituals i.e. drumming circles, animal sacrifice, loa/orisha worship. The only difference I can see really is that the old mexican ladies who pratice santeria are more likely to say its catholicism, when theyre praying to an orisha.

Too bad Carlos Perez doesn't feel that way.Santeria and Voudoun are less like Catholicism and Judaism and more like Catholicism and Episcopalism. I am willing to grant that Carlos Perez knows his Santeria but since he doesn't think Voudoun is a religion he clearly doesn't know much about Voudoun.
