Also, according to UG Christian News, atheists in Kenya comprised nearly 2.5% of the population. This portion included Kenyans having no religion or specify no affiliation. They push forth on wanting the country to adopt science and skepticism in all its affairs. Furthermore, they promote a rational and humanistic approach to morality, according to NTV Kenya.
For that reason, the Atheists in Kenya Society (AIK) have already pursued several campaigns in court to promote their advocacy. The initiative included the “scrapping of Christian education in Kenyan’s basic education curriculum and the annual National Day of Prayer.” Also, they complained against churches and mosques, accusing them of being a “nuisance to public peace especially in residential areas,” contributing to noise pollution. Thus, they addressed a letter to the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) this year.
Furthermore, AIK also lobbied to declare February 17 as a national atheist holiday in the East African Country.
Celebration Among Christians
The news sparked spontaneous celebrations among the Christian community online.
“Thank you God you have done it again . You changed Paul, you changed Zacchaeus the tax collector, you have now changed Seth Mahiga. May you also change our corrupt politicians,” one Christian wrote.
“Welcome to the world of reality and truth. The light shineth in the darkness and darkness cannot comprehend it!” “Glory to Jesus,” another said.
Indeed, nothing is impossible with God. He can always turn things around for His glory. Praise Him!
