Explanation:

There are quite some reasons that the Europeans wanted to colonize Africa and when it comes to religious reasons, the Europeans, viewing themselves as protectors and propagators of the Christian faith, wanted to spread Christianity to Africans.

They viewed the African cultural and religious practices then as savage, backward and satanic and so believed it was their calling to save them. With this they established many missions around the continent and even translated the Bible to various African languages.
