Kenya refuses to register atheist group

7 hours ago

A group of Kenyan atheists say they have suffered "blatant discrimination" after the authorities refused to register their society.

They were told the application was turned down because of concerns that registration could affect the "peace... [and] good order" in the country.

The 60-member Atheists In Kenya applied for official recognition last year.

More than 97% of Kenyans identify themselves with a religion, according to Pew Research.
