True story that made me laugh
An atheist organisation in Kenya is looking for a new secretary â after the incumbent âfound Jesusâ.
The Atheists in Kenya Society, based in the countryâs capital Nairobi, announced the resignation of Seth Mahiga on Saturday evening.
Its president Harrison Mumia said: âSethâs reason for resigning is that he has found Jesus Christ and is no longer interested in promoting atheism in Kenya.
âWe wish Seth all the best in his new-found relationship with Jesus Christ. We thank him for having served the society with dedication over the last one and a half years.â
The society's facebook page had previously announced the news with a post stating: 'It's a sad day for AIK. Our secretary has resigned saying he's found Jesus. Lol!'
The Atheists in Kenya Societyâs Twitter page shared a âsurrealâ video purporting to be Mr Mahiga speaking at a church service.
âIâve been going through some difficulties in life, and then I decided to resign as secretary. I am very happy to be here,â Mr Mahiga tells the congregation.
About 750,000 Kenyans identify as atheists, according to a government survey conducted last year while 83 per cent of the countryâs 47.6 million population are Christian.
The Atheists in Kenya Society was founded in 2016 to promote secularism. The Kenyan government initially refused to register it on the basis that it would damage âpeace, welfare or good order in Kenyaâ, sparking international condemnation and a High Court battle.
