The religion of Rastafarianism.

The Rastafari movement is a new religious movement that arose in a Christian culture in Jamaica in the 1930s. Rastafarians worship a singular god, they call Jah, and Haile Selassi ,who was a former emperor to Ethiopia. Rastafarianism is considered a religion by rastafarians themselves, but to others it is more viewed as a way of life. Rastafarians express their religion in not eating meats, but eating their approved food called Ital. However, Rastafarianism is not criticized as much in today's society and is considered a norm.
