Tuesday, June 09, 2026 - Activist and presidential aspirant, Boniface Mwangi, has ignited fresh debate after sharing his views on spirituality, religion and Kenya’s moral compass.
Speaking in an interview, Mwangi boldly stated that people can live meaningful lives without
necessarily being tied to organised religion.
“You can live in this world without religion because
religion is a set of beliefs and things that you do to look pure or to look
holy,” he explained.
He went on to point out a glaring contradiction,
particularly among Christians in Kenya.
“They say Kenya is a Christian nation, but we are very
corrupt; we love shortcuts.”
“Kenya has one of the highest cases of gender‑based
violence.” he said.
He pointed to everyday hypocrisy, noting how reckless
drivers rush to church while breaking traffic rules.
“Kenya is a country where people don’t even obey traffic
rules, but they are Christians.”
“Someone is going to jump traffic lights or drive recklessly
in his hurry to go to church and pretend to be Christian,” he added.
For Mwangi, spirituality is about self‑belief and inner
guidance.
“It’s you and your internal talking to your God,” he said,
stressing that he identifies more as spiritual than religious.
He concluded by saying he does not fear death, since he
strives to live authentically by his principles.
“I’m more of a spiritual person, not a religious person. I
don’t fear death because I live my life right by me and the things I believe
in,” he declared.
