The Religion is a horror novel written in 1982 by Nicholas Conde.

It explores the ritual sacrifice of children to appease the pantheon of voodoo deities, through the currently used practice of Santería.

The novel depicts the various deities and personas commonly seen in Santería, and it attempts to explain the connection and differences between Santería(white magic)and Brujeria (black magic).

Anthropologist Cal Jamison intends to study 'Santaria' but finds himself hopelessly ensnared.

Trying to help a NY cop discover the killers of several children, he gets in over his head and finds his 7-year-old son Chris is in jeopardy.
