Religion

Of all man's creations, this is the most unpalatable. It is responsible for mass murder, torture and all sort of barbaric acts against humanity.
In Africa, the continent seems to be the HQ of superstition. Nigeria, Uganda, Egypt, Kenya, Somalia and Rwanda have suffered from the effects of middle eastern superstition imported to the beautiful continent.

Christianity as practised by Africans is very conservative especially with the issue of homosexuality. There are numerous superstitious people who claim homosexuality can be cured, AIDS is a gay disease, and are unwilling to accept gays amongst their congragations, and in their societies. Homosexuality is but one issue, abortion, the death penalty, women's rights and the imposition of 'christian ' values upon their countrymen affects all.

Islam is also another middle eastern superstition affecting the continent.
The riots in northern Nigeria following the imposition of the criminal code of sharia upon the poor denizens of the region, has highlighted the dangers of superstitious beliefs being enshrined in law. Stoning of women, limb amputation, and barbaric criminal sanctions are some of the consequences of a surge towards theocracy in northern Nigeria.


Religion is a personal matter and secularism is the best way we can accommodate all beliefs in government.
