because it was all they had left from their home

they were taken away from their homes to work for people who werent always kind in fact most were tough, so it meant a lot to them to have their religion, which most had to do secretly becuase they would be punished for not taking the owners religion

Religion helps slaves keep hope alive. When they sung spirituals, they drew upon the power of the words and continued to survive.

Belief in God gave many slaves hope of a better life than the one they had on earth. It also assured them that they were loved and were equal in God's eyes with their masters.
