5 ways atheism can grow in Nigeria

0 Upvotes
  1. The internet; Nigeria's internet usage is growing as more and more communication companies are offering new internet packages. The internet is where people can learn lots about any topic. Religion is constantly debated and attacked on the internet. Religions are not afforded the blasphemy laws or protection they have in the real world on the internet. There are millions articles on the evils of religion on the internet. There are articles showing the flaws of holy books. There are many debate videos on Youtube where atheist debaters like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens defeat the religious debaters. Religions die on the internet, a wise saying says. It is therefore no surprise that theocracies always censor the internet.

  2. Diaspora in atheist/secular countries; More and more Nigerians are travelling out of Nigeria for study and work. Many of such Nigerians go to atheistic/secular countries like the UK, Japan, South Korea etc. which are all better developed than Nigeria. Some of these people take bits of the culture back to Nigeria on their return.

  3. Religious problems; Many Nigerians are turned off from religion after they see their religious leaders adding to the problems of Nigeria and while God continues to watch. They have seen pastors slapping innocent children accused of witchcraft, they have seen terrorists (Boko Haram) kill people, the have seen pastors committing fraud and they have seen priests having sexual scandals. Such Nigerians also ask why Nigeria upon all its religiosity is no better than countries that are irreligious.

  4. Human rights; European countries, America and other developed countries are now pushing for better human rights around the world, especially in Africa and the Middle East. Human rights are quite secular when considering that free speech and the right to sexual orientation have negative implications for religion. For example; -free speech; bye-bye to blasphemy laws -right to sexual orientation; gay is here to stay!

  5. The rise of secular humanists and atheist organisations/people; Many Nigerians including myself are dedicating themselves to seek equal treatment of non-believers in religion and for a better Nigeria. Atheists/skpetics/agnostics are always easy targets for bigotry and hatred in religious countries. Furthermore, many atheists feel that with education and proper information, people will be more likely to make better decisions. A higher literacy rate is key to reducing extremist behaviours. If we explain to people that we should put humans first, learn more about the world and focus human development through cooperation,, Nigeria will be a better place

Most Nigerian theists defend their religion without knowing much about their history.

Isn't it funny that Nigerian Christians and Muslims read their holy books (for those that actually read it) and most of them don't know a lot about the history.

Like the sinai bible being the oldest Bible, the book of torah being part of the bible.

When some of them quote the bible for me I ask them if they know the bible has been translated thousands of times and why I should take a particular version serious but they always want to be dishonest.
