Although Dazurian Creole is losing out in favour of [[Bemé]] in everyday use, the language is still regularly used in the context of the religion (sometimes considered a [[w:Cargo cult|cargo cult]]) '''Papkouron'''. In the religion, adherents believe in a Christ-like saviour called the Granpap Kouron (Dazurian Creole: ''Granpap' Kourôn'' [[Help:IPA|[grɑ̃pap kurɔn]]], <small>lit.</small> "Grandfather Crown"), reflecting the now-absent French colonial administration that ruled the island prior to 1820. The religion probably stemmed from collective trauma under British colonial rule, which then conversely lended the French colonial period a nostalgic air; with no Dazurians who lived through the French colonial period left to say otherwise, this colonial nostalgic fever came to a head and formed the Papkouron religion that worshipped what anthropologists seem to believe was a headless Jesus statue, left behind in the remnants of a French Catholic church.
