“Zambia is known to be one of the most religious countries in Africa.”
“Over 85% of the population is Christian, leaving just a handful of Muslims, Hindus and a tiny fragment of irreligious people.”
“We decided to organize this youth conference with the main goal of grouping together young humanists and atheists from around the country and to show them that they are not alone.”
“The first big obstacle was announcing the event and spreading the word.”
“But that was nothing compared to the second obstacle, which was finding a venue.”
“Somebody even asked us to remove the word ‘atheist’ from the banner.”
