Christianity religion has had the greatest influence on changes to Maori religion and culture.

Explanation:

In the 1820s as New Zealand was growing more and more settled, Maori people started to convert to Christianity. The Te Hahi Mihinare had the most massive audience by Maori Methodists and Catholics. Some souls prepared it the conventional way and some people put a Maori twist/impact on it.

Due to the magnetism of British settlers, mythical Maori beliefs have compounded with Christianity and this made the basis of recent aori religious traditions. Prayers in Te Reo Maori, the Maori language, are a regular peculiarity and are part of a lot of major New Zealand events.
