Wow! just checking out religious section to get more juicy gist about Oga Sule and madam Otobo after being off NL some while. am so surprised to see so many atheist in religious sectioin but I must confess that I have never met one in real life. Is it that in real life they are pretending or what.

But truth be told it is unthinkable not to believe in God here in Nigeria grin even the word atheism 85% of Nigerians don't know what it means grin let alone identifying as one.

in fact If you tell an average Nigerian you do not believe in God the next thing he will ask you is: so then you believe in Satan/Devil/Juju? if you say no that you believe in nothing the person will term you a psycho grin

In Nigeria you must believe in something if you are even doubtful only the stories of fiery witchcraft attacks, heaven & hell, spiritual manipulation, etc. mehn you go use fear gree grin.

Even me that is typing I don't know the kind of logic that will make me not to believe in my God. though I some times have some lingering doubt about religion especially the fact that they are so many teaching different things but fear no dey gree me reason reach that atheism side grin

mean while I still need more Update about oga sule and her ms na their tory carry me land NL after so many months of absence grin
no blame me that tory too juicy I tell you cheesy

Coming out as an atheist in Nigeria can cost you your friends, your job, and even your family. I know this because I am in touch with some of Nigerian atheists like myself who have experienced losses in each one of these areas. Many have suffered losses in more than one of these areas and I even know some who have experienced loss in all.

we are trying to find a way to come out and you can peruse the thread https://www.nairaland.com/3638370/freethinkers-nigeria-fear-nigerians on the progress made so far

with time atheism would be something people would respect

Because Nigerians are ready to kill just like their spiritual father's of old... Besides you can only identify yourself as an atheist if you want to engage in an unending argument, which will lead to using not nice words against another man's god or gods.
I have been referred to an atheist even back in my secondary school days because I choose to question all.

I fill Christian if its compulsory

a lot of atheists in Nigeria are church and mosque goers; many are even workers

most atheists keep up appearances in real life, that's why you've seen so many on the internet and none in real life

Sister.
They are not many.
Just a few disgruntled male Christians who want to free their minds and kill their conscience so that they can commit sin.

So they open many fake multiple monikers to make it look like they are many.

One of them even commented up there.
He has been exposed to have many fake monikers posing as different atheists.

They are jesters

You people would be the first to accuse religious people of hatred and all sorts but you just called religious people zombies which no other person has done on this thread.

Your sanity should be questioned when you go to church but still turn around to insult and castigate religious people simply for being religious.

If you can't proudly identify as an atheist, you're a coward. You lots come here to insult and use all manner of derogatory words against religion but still go to church and act as an undercover christian?

except for the north, there's no history of religious killings, hate and wars down south so enough with the rhetoric of prejudice and discrimination.

I've been told of atheists and God haters by my brother who is a member of the visitation team in church. Basically he has visited several atheists, some of which were harsh and used curse words at him, and all he and his team showed them was love.

So don't go stereotyping religious people when you atheists aren't any better.

Sh is now it sister? Look at her pix profile perhaps u can self-service with it.

When I start pointing out the forbidden life your fellow Christians live upandan you will start shouting that they are not real Christians.

From ur point of view, evil is allowed when one claims to be a Christian (at least they can do it over and over again just as long as they ask for forgiveness. But it's a taboo when one is an atheist
