by Ishola Alolanle Fatai KICC creeps me out. No, there’s no clever wordplay here, no hidden meaning. The Kingsway International Christian Centre creeps me out. I don’t mean ‘creeps me out’ in the I-wouldn’t-be-caught-dead-within-a-mile-of-it way I would refer to say, TB Joshua’s ‘Synagogue’. But an experience there has left me deeply uncomfortable...

Ishola Alolanle Fatai: The doubt essential to faith (Confessions of a Nigerian Atheist) [WATCH]

by Ishola Alolanle Fatai I came across this compelling video of Lesley Hazelton delivering a TED talk about the importance of doubt to faith, and it just echoes so many thoughts of mine. You know how you just randomly stumble on something that seems to have been extracted right from your head, and articulated in... Read More

Ishola Alolanle Fatai: My COZA experience (Confessions of a Nigerian Atheist)

by Ishola Alolanle Fatai I haven’t been to church in forever, or at least what feels like it. That should be obvious enough, right? What with me being an atheist and all, particularly considering I grew up Muslim and not Christian. But I’ve always had something of a curious relationship with the House of God.... Read More

Ishola Alolanle Fatai: Yes, Christians, I think I’m better than you. So what? (Confessions of a Nigerian atheist)

The message is loud and clear: Follow us or suffer an eternity of eternal damnation [by a God who is supposed to love you unconditionally – they tend to leave this part out] “Atheists think they’re so smart” “I like how people think that because they are atheists, they are better than everyone else.”...

Ishola Alolanle Fatai: T.B Joshua, spare me please (Confessions of a Nigerian Atheist)

by Ishola Alolanle Fatai It’s simple, if I do not believe in God, then how in hell (all puns intended) does it make sense to you that I will believe in ‘sin’ or ‘the devil’? The church on my street is making noise as usual. I’m irritated as usual. But whatever. That’s all irrelevant, really.... Read More

Ishola Alolanle Fatai: No, I am not a ‘pagan’ (Confessions of a Nigerian Atheist)

by Ishola Alolanle Fatai Should an 11 year old kid really be getting told that he worships the devil and he’s going to hell simply because he doesn’t identify as a Christian or a Muslim? I don’t really have much to say today. Okay that’s another one of those mistakes I tend to make; I... Read More

Confessions of a Nigerian atheist: So I went to church yesterday…

by Ishola Alolanle Fatai I used to get angry at them, and then I became overwhelmed with pity for their crippling foolishness. Actually, I didn’t, but I might as well have, (no) thanks to the church on my street. Well, if “church” is even the right term for the circus I believe it to be.... Read More
