For Christianity Brother Man is used in the form of a Rastafarian who is seen as a prophet to those around him who listen to his words of spirituality and belief in faith. However Brother Ambo uses obeah which is seen as bad and thus it conflicts with the faith of christianity and as in the book poisons the minds of those who use it.
