Does anyone truly know the religion of the southrons? I mean its widely accepted that they worship melkor or sauron but i really cant see that as being the dominant religion of the Haradrim.Mostly people would say since they are "evil men" and are allies with sauron they worship sauron, this is generally true for the easterlings but not for the haradrim, If you have read the appendix's and in appendix A in Numenor it says that numenor aided the men of the south who were afflicted by sauron judging by this i can tell they didnt like sauron because of the word "Afflict" ,they were helped by the numenoreans at that time in around half the Second Age but they would have had their own gods most likely a snake-like deity. Also the only reason their allied with sauron was due to the unfair and enslavement of their people by the Kings men and because of the kings men they are enemies with Gondor. However they allied with the enemy of their enemy to finnish off Numenor all together it wasnt like they actually worshipped Sauron. Now tell me why would people throw away their gods and religion for a being who used to be a jackass to them.The Black numenoreans however as we know became chieftens among the haradrim who mustve have acted like preachers of the "Faith of Sauron" they might have gotten some progress but you cant preach an entire religion out of existence.
