Atheists In Kenya Society

MISSION &VISION.

We work towards a happier more fulfilled society

At the Atheists In Kenya Society, we want a tolerant world where rational thinking and kindness prevail. We work to support lasting change for a better society, championing ideas for the one life we have.

We devote much of our time to campaigning and lobbying on behalf of the non-religious as well as for freedom of religion, belief, speech, thought, and expression more generally. 

We work for an open society and a secular state with no religious privilege or discrimination based on religion or belief.

We also campaign for a rational approach to public ethical issues in order to contribute to a public life where decisions are made on evidence rather than on the basis of irrational beliefs or religious doctrines. You can help!

We are committed to secularism – the principle that, in a plural, open society where people follow many different religious and non-religious ways of life, the communal institutions that we share (and together pay for) should provide a neutral public space where we can all meet on equal terms.

HOW we WORK

You can be good without God

It is possible to live confidently without metaphysical or religious certainties.

We see human flourishing as dependent on open communication, discussion, criticism and unforced consensus.

We advocate for the rigorously and skilful use of information, experience, observation, and reasoning to guide our decisions, actions, and beliefs.
Knowledge is the key that unlocks our potential and empowers us to make informed decisions, tackle challenges, and contribute to the betterment of society.
We believe that human beings can search for meaning in various ways and cherish profound identity-shaping convictions, in conformity with which they may wish to live their lives, as individuals and in community with others.
Compassion is unifying. It enables us to understand someone else’s situation, making us take action to change their lives for the better.
