And sadly it’s not just isolated to Africa. Western countries like Australia and the US are doing similar things in the name of religion. It’s a global scourge.

Australia too?

I thought the whole problem with Africa was the amount of involuntary fasting?

Nothing says true religion like using police to force people to follow it.

“When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its Professors are obliged to call for the help of the Civil Power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.”

-Benjamin Franklin
