The indigenous people of Cuba were Christianized by Columbus and his successors. Roman Catholicism was prevalent until 1959 when "atheism" was embraced by the Revolutionary government. Constitutional changes embracing secularism rather than atheism have allowed religious groups to slowly reorganize in Cuba. As was demonstrated during the times of King Henry VIII and Thomas Becket, independence of religion from a restrictive and controlling "State" eventually prevails...the enduring role of myths and religion fulfilling the soul of Man.....a timeless story being written once again in Cuba in the New Millennium.
