Yvette Mutima said:
"There's a difference between beliefs and religions and when you will meet Jesus christ you will change your mindset 100%."
Joseph Lungu said:
"Also, be sure to teach them the dangers of religions and religious people in large groups. The most evil people are usually the most religious and as kids they could encounter hostile intolerant brainwashed robots in school."
Rotich Robert said:
"They will still know and see that there's whiteman, black man and Arab. I hope you'll provide answers to the curiosity of the kid when they grow up."
Olusegun Irein said:
"Are you sure? Nature abhors vacuum. You either serve God or mammon. Choose you between life and death. You can be neutral. By your choice alone you have shown alignment, and alas, divine wisdom is not factored. A word is enough for wise."
Njoki Wa Ndiritu Njoki said:
"Yes, true in fact religious education is part of programming and it should be abolished in schools."

Pastor's daughter who dumped Christianity
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about a pastor's daughter who left Christianity and became godless opened up about her decision.
The young lady, raised in a very strict Christian home, stated that the challenges associated with such an upbringing were rigid thinking and a lack of emotional intelligence that accompanies religious fundamentalism.
She said it was terrifying and difficult for her when she began questioning the Christian beliefs she had grown up with. She concluded that Christianity was a tool to make one surrender their power to external forces.
