Quote:The people I met during my trip were mostly devout Christians, but who had imported traditional beliefs to shape the way they explain disability.

Key phrase being TRADITIONAL BELIEFS (superstitions) not CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

Demon possession is not an imported belief for Christians:

What we have here are Christians who take the Bible more seriously than some Christians do.

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
