One who does not believe in the existence of a god or supernatural being is properly designated as an atheist. Atheism is not Satanism; nor is it devil worship.
I believe in goodness. I believe in equality, democracy; I want poverty eradicated. I believe in a good education. I believe in hard work. But I reject the god proposition. One can live a full life, a meaningful life without the belief in an invisible sky god.
Over the past few weeks, I have received many questions regarding my position as an atheist. Most of these questions point to the fact that many Kenyans have a distorted understanding of Atheism.
I have also observed that Atheism, even in Kenya’s “liberal” atmosphere, is still somewhat unacceptable. I will attempt to address some common questions that have been posed to me.
