摘要

正如2010年宪法所确认的那样，肯尼亚共和国是一个世俗国家，承诺信仰自由和宗教自由。然而在实践中，肯尼亚的宗教领域是高度规范的。2010年代，一个试图挑战这种现状的团体崛起了:肯尼亚的无神论者(AIK)。该组织遇到了激烈的抵抗，其注册为一个法律社会的尝试在该国高等法院之前结束了。AIK的激进主义使其成为一场社会运动，要求重新审视宗教与国家之间的密切关系。因此，它是肯尼亚关于世俗主义的广泛辩论的重要参与者。此外，AIK可以被视为该国目前民主化阶段的证明，这一阶段允许- -虽然有时是不情愿的- -新的社会行动模式和表达以前受到限制的要求。

Athéisme et sécularisme au Kenya : les tribulations des Atheists In Kenya (AIK).

As affirmed by the 2010 constitution, the Republic of Kenya is a secular country that promises both freedom of faith and freedom from religion. In practice, however, the realm of religion in Kenya is highly normative. The 2010s have seen the rise of a group seeking to challenge this status quo: Atheists in Kenya (AIK). The group met with fierce resistance, and its attempt to register as a legal society ended before the country's High Court. AIK's activism turned it into a social movement that demands a reexamination of the close ties between religion and the State. It is thus an important participant in a wide debate on secularism in Kenya. In addition, AIK may be read as a testimony to the country's present stage of democratization, which allows - if sometimes reluctantly - for new modes of social action and for the expression of claims that were formerly kept in check.
