The Atheists in Kenya Society has invited gospel singer Ruth Matete to join them following her recent social media posts. The society's president, Harrison Mumia, said they followed Matete's reports concerning Christians' hypocrisy after her husband's death. Mr Mumia said Ruth's scepticism in religious faith would lead her to become an atheist and even challenged her to abandon Christianity.

"We have read media reports that Ruth Matete is tired of hypocrites and fake Christians who hide behind religions while persecuting others.  I would like to personally invite Ruth to join our society. We feel that her scepticism of religious faith will lead her to eventually become an atheist. I challenge Ruth to abandon Christianity for atheism and experience the peace I've experienced as an atheist for over 20 years. Since I abandoned Christianity, I've experienced peace in the midst of terrible pain, frustration, death of my father and other very stressful and painful events," said Mr Mumia.
