The traditional Berber religion is the sum of ancient and native set of beliefs and deities adhered to by the Berbers. Many ancient Berber beliefs were developed locally including the cults for local gods such as Atlas,[a][1] and the goddess Tanit (or more known to the Greeks as Athena[2]) and Ammon,[3] whereas others were influenced over time through contact with others like ancient Egyptian religion such as Isis which was worshipped in eastern Libya, or borrowed during antiquity from the Punic religion such as Eshmun and Baal, Judaism, Iberian mythology, and the Hellenistic religion like the worship of Apollo and Ceres. Some of the ancient Berber beliefs still exist today subtly within the Berber popular culture and tradition. Syncretic influences from the traditional Berber religion can also be found in many other faiths around the Mediterranean.
