Today the majority of the Igbo population is Christian, because of the European influence. The traditional Igbo religion and traditions is known as Odinani and their supreme god is Chukwu. Igbo believe in reincarnation which means that people are supposed to reincarnate into their families. After a death, the body of a prominent member of society is placed on a stool sitting down, and is clothed in the deceased's finest garments. There is also a small population of Igbo Jews.
