More than 700,000 Kenyans are atheists, according to the final report of the 2019 Population Census released on Friday by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
The report, which gives an insight into the Kenyan population based on their religious beliefs, shows that 755,750 Kenyans do not believe in God.
Kilifi County leads in the number of nonbelievers with 146,669, more than double the number of atheists in Nakuru (67,640), which is second.
Nairobi comes in third with 54,841 followed by Narok (45,617), Kiambu (30770), Kitui (23,778), Meru (20,985) and Mombasa (11,148).
Atheists in Kenya (AIK) society was registered with the office of the Registrar of Societies in February 2017 by Harrison Mumia, who serves as the group’s president.
Three months later, the government quashed the registration but it was reinstated after Mumia successfully challenged the suspension in the High Court.
The final Census report shows there are 15,777,473 protestants in Kenya, the majority religious group. The number of Catholics is 9,726,169.
9,648,690 people attend Evangelical churches, 3,292,573 go to African Instituted Churches, Orthodox (201,263), Other Christian (1,732,911), Islam (5,152,194), Hindu (60,287) while Traditionalists are 318,727 in number.
For those lost.. you’re not…
For those lost.. you’re not alone. It was prophesied. God created Heaven and hell for a purpose. He’s all knowing and He knew there are those who belong to hell.
He’s a just God and He gave us free will to decide. Unless you repent your sins.. Hell is open for you. What will they say when you die?
So, what happens to majority…
So, what happens to majority of the world that doesn’t believe in a Christian God? How do you explain Noah’s flood that is disputed by historical records? How was Jonah able to survive days in a whale’s belly while science deams it impossible? Coming to think of it, how was Jesus able to address 5000+ without a microphone? Would a loving God set us all up for failure by giving us rules impossible not only for most humans but the holier than thou clergy to keep?…before damning everyone to hell, you might want to explain all that to the unbelieving world….how comes the very humans that brought Christianity to Africa no longer believe in it?
This is very interesting…
This is very interesting. God gives you free will to chose then he punishes or rewards you if you exercise it…
He knows those who will go to hell way in advance and has no desire to save them from burning in hell? Wow.
My biggest question is,how come we dont see blind men seeing,cripples walking,deadmen resurrecting, thousands feeding on a loaf of bread,after prayer? Is it because its not possible, or people of the clothe dont have enough faith?
Maxiley, very valid…
Maxiley, very valid questions. How comes the likes of Owuor etc NEVER hold healing crusades in hospital wards, homes for the less abled or raising the dead in funeral homes? Religion was a raw deal to Africans and we are slowly walking up from a deep slumber.

We closed our eyes to pray…
We closed our eyes to pray and Bible holding missionaries stole our land. Today they left the stealing to N’gang’as of this world.
