In this study, 121 participants with varying educational levels, religious beliefs, and social backgrounds from the Idoma ethnic group of Benue State in Nigeria provided information on the relationship between their membership in African Traditional and Christian religions and their attitudes toward people with mental retardation, HIV/AIDS, and people who are poor. The study examined whether members from the two religions were significantly different on their feelings about causal responsibility, associations, and self-determination rights of people with mental retardation, HIV/AIDS and people who are poor. The results indicated that respondents' age, religious agency, and membership in Christian and African Traditional religions were significant predictors of (a) responsibility for mental retardation, HIV/AIDS, and poverty, (b) associations with people in those situations and, (c) self-determination rights of people in those situations. Overall, the study indicated that the more likely the membership in Christian or African Traditional religions, the more likely the belief that individuals are responsible for HIV/AIDS, the more likely the association with people with mental retardation, the less likely the belief in self-determination rights of people from the three groups.
