They have traditional religious beliefs from time immemorial which shaped their way of life. The Zous believed in the existence of Supreme Being and Spirits of ancestors. They also believed that the world was inhabited by various spirits which were either benevolent or malignant to man. The daily life of the Zous was revolved around appeasing the malevolent spirits that dwelt in dense forest, streams, mountains, water, rocks, rivers, etc. They believed that after death, the soul of man would go through misikhuo (the abode of dead) and pielgal(place beyond misikhuo) to reach heaven.
