Manekes society still has a historical relationship with the Sundanese. Physical appearance and their language is similar to Sundanese people in general. The only difference is their beliefs and way of life. People Kanekes shut yourself from the outside world and strictly maintain their traditional way of life, while the Sundanese are more open to foreign influences and the majority embraced Islam. In general, interest Baduy divided into three groups, namely Tangtu, Panamping, and Dangka. All three tribes have different characteristics to one another in terms of the application of customs:

3.Kanekes Dangka
They live outside the Kanekes, and currently resides in the remaining two villages, namely Padawaras (Cibengkung) and Sirahdayeuh (Cihandam). Dangka village serves as a sort of buffer zone on outside influences
  Public confidence Kanekes called Sunda Wiwitan rooted in the worship of ancestral spirits (animism) which on subsequent development was also influenced by Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. The core belief is shown by the existence of absolute pikukuh or customary provisions adopted in the daily life of people Kanekes. The most important contents of 'pikukuh' (compliance) Kanekes is the concept of 'without any changes', or change as little as possible:
  Lojor heunteu beunang cut, spliced ​​short heunteu beunang. (Length can not / should not be cut, the short can not / should not be connected)
 Taboo in everyday life are interpreted literally. In agriculture, pikukuh form is by not changing the contour of the land for fields, so how berladangnya very simple, do not cultivate the land with a plow, do not create a terracing, planted only with the drill, which is a piece of sharpened bamboo. In housing construction also contour the ground surface left untouched, so that the poles Kanekes often not the same length. Words and their actions were honest, innocent, without further ado, even in trade they did not bargain.
Object of trust is important for the community Kanekes Arca Domas, the location kept secret and is considered the most sacred. Kanekes people visit these locations to conduct worship once a year in Kalima, which in 2003 coincided with the month of July. Only the highest Pu'un or traditional leaders and some members of selected communities are following the cult group. In the complex there are Arca Domas stone mortar that holds rain water. If at the time found a stone mortar worship exists in a state full of clear water, then for the Kanekes it is a sign that the rainfall for the year will be a lot down, and harvest will be successful. Conversely, if the stone mortar dry or watery cloudy, it is a sign of crop failure.
For some people, related to the persistence society, indigenous beliefs held Kanekes reflect the religious beliefs of Sundanese people in general before the advent of Islam.
