What the Haitians (and also Cubans, etc) do is mix the two. For example, some Cubans practice Santeria which is a mixture of Voodoo and Catholicism. I suspect many Haitians do the same, and have their own name for it.

Many Haitians do do the same, and they call it Vodou. The name distinction is not Voodoo and something else (like Santaria), it's West African Vodun and Haitian Vodou. (Vodun and Vodou both became Voodoo in English.)
And DS, you're right to blame James Bond.
