Rastafari+movement

The **Rastafari movement** is a monotheistic, Abrahamic, new religious movement that arose in a Christian culture in Jamaica in the 1930s. The people who worship these things are called Rastafarians or Rastas. The movement is sometimes referred to as "Rastafarianism", but this term is considered derogatory and offensive by some Rastas, who dislike being labelled as an "ism". Rastafari is not a highly organized religion; it is a movement and an ideology. Many Rastas say that it is not a "religion" at all, but a "Way of Life". Most Rastas do not claim any sect or denomination, and thus encourage one another to find faith and inspiration within themselves.
