Atheists in Kenya Society is seeking to increase its membership after suffering a setback following the resignation of its secretary Seth Mahiga who found Jesus.
Atheists have since launched a new campaign to recruit new members, baiting Kenyans with handsome cash reward.
Just like churches and mosques, Atheists in Kenya Society is also registered under the Societies Act in Kenya. It is the first non-religious society to be registered in the country.
The society was established in Nairobi, Kenya, on February 17, 2016. Harrison Mumia is the founder and president. The foundation has its headquarters in Cargen House, Nairobi.
Atheists in Kenya Society is seeking to expand and as such it has launched massive recruitment campaign.
The society’s president Mumia is calling upon Kenyans to renounce their religious beliefs and join the atheists who don’t believe in the existence of God.

The move to recruit new members come after Atheists in Kenya Society accused former Secretary Seth Mahiga of withdrawing funds from the society’s bank account without the authority of the current executive committee after he found Jesus.
The society’s President Mumia said that members of the Executive Committee were shocked when they visited their bank only to find a huge sum missing from their account.
“The new executive committee, including myself, the incoming Treasurer Samson Mbavu and the incoming Secretary Mary Kamau had visited KCB today only to be informed that the former Secretary Seth Mahiga, had withdrawn funds from the Atheists In Kenya Society bank account without our authority,” Mumia said.
Mumia further said the act by Mahiga amounts to theft from the society adding that the funds belong to its members.
