Quimbanda is closely related to [[Umbanda]] and the two have been regarded as "sister" religions. Umbanda represents the ‘whitened’ aspects of Macumba, drawing heavily on spiritual and hierarchical values of French Spiritism and [[Christianity|Catholicism]]. On the other hand, Quimbanda represented the aspects of Macumba that were rejected in the whitening process, becoming "the Macumba of Macumbas." | Quimbanda is closely related to [[Umbanda]] and the two have been regarded as "sister" religions.
