My experience is that when you speak a little of Yoruba, like maybe try guess which Orisha might be theirs (everyone is characterised by one or more) , and which trad colors are associated, maybe one or two of the folkloric tales their Orisha(s) are known for, maybe even some of the dance steps for that Orisha, or any of them, if you know any of this and relate it, to a person descended from African roots, also make it clear this isn't contrary to Christianity but complementary to it, within minutes they are fascinated to find out more for themselves, and it impresses them no end that you know more about their roots than they do, they feel like they have a duty to put that right I guess :)
Where Yoruba comes round to technical things like science, it is steeped in ancient technology by having things like the opele, which is a string of beads or shells with digital characteristics, of digitally defining a number in the range 0 to 255, each state with a different path that the person being divined, by the thrower of the beads, usually a Yoruba priest, might take. The priest can be anyone with the right "training" (even a white guy or gal!), Obatala is traditionally white skinned, and the one who created humans.... it gets spookily technical, more towards science than our view of religion very quickly, especially the way they speak of, and think of music structurally, the music and dance association (salsa) is what drew me in, I used to be a big fan of Western music but I feel like I stepped up a notch when I got into salsa and African rhumba, and even things like merengue and reggaeton, it's all connected structurally and mathematically to the popular forms of music of "The West", and all connected with science, almost like an extension of genetics, to me, and maybe to many of that faith, it is our unique genes rattling when we listen to, and react to music :)
OpenAi will tell you everything about Yoruba btw, the information itself is perfectly structured to be programed, of course Ai is effectively programing itself by its learning process. I don't see any of it as harmful, only good.
Here is the thing, Christianity seems more based on belief, and faith, than Yoruba, which to me seems more based on knowledge.
