Английская Википедия:Irreligion in Kenya
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Bar box
Irreligion in Kenya is uncommon among Kenyans, with only 1.6% claiming no religion. Atheism is greatly stigmatized in Kenya.[1][2]
Harrison Mumia registered the first atheist society in Kenya on February 17, 2016. The Kenyan Government suspended the registration of the Atheists In Kenya Society barely three months after it was registered. Harrison Mumia moved to the High Court of Kenya to challenge the suspension of the society and won the case in February, 2018.[3]
Demography
According to the 2019 census, about 755,000 Kenyans identify as irreligious or atheist.[4] Atheist advocacy groups claim that the number of irreligious Kenyans is closer to 1.5 million.[4]
