For questioning privately in Kenya, Rage 2 Rebuild selects “Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values” from Humanists International’s chapter dated 13 February 2026.

Country chapter updated 13 February 2026 · retrieved September 5, 2026. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values
Freedom of expression, freedom of the media, and freedom of assembly and association are enshrined in the Kenyan Constitution. However, respect for these rights is varied and often restricted on the pretext of tackling insecurity. In the case of freedom of expression specifically, an array of laws carrying criminal sanctions are used to silence journalists, limit online expression and restrict criticism of the government. The Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act 2018 has been used to target bloggers and internet shutdowns and restrictions on digital platforms have become a growing concern.
Blasphemy Laws
Kenya criminalizes “blasphemy” under Chapter 14 of the Penal Code. Specifically, Article 134 focuses on “Insult to religion” and refers to destroying, damaging or defiling a place of worship or a sacred object with intent/knowledge that it would insult a religion. Article 138, entitled “Writing or uttering words with intent to wound religious feelings” criminalizes words, sounds, gestures, or objects made with deliberate intent to wound another person’s religious feelings. Article 134 may result in a fine or up to two years imprisonment while Article 138 carries a prison sentence of up to one year.
Constitution and government
President William Ruto, who was sworn in as Kenya’s new President in 2022, is widely considered to be the country’s first evangelical Christian President. Since his appointment in 2022, there has been growing concern that the secular nature of the Kenyan state is at risk. During his 2022 election campaign, President Ruto signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with evangelical churches agreeing “to protect the church.” The MoU included government funding for pastors, allocation of land to churches, the appointment of clergy to government roles, and the lifting of a moratorium on the registration of new churches – which had formerly been put in place to curb growing radicalization and commercialization.

Look beyond the name you type
A nickname does not make an account anonymous. Email addresses, profile photographs, contact syncing, browser history, downloads, notifications and people with device access can connect an activity to you. Private browsing also has limits outside the browser itself.
Separate reading, joining and publishing
Opening an informational page, creating an account, joining a group and posting a personal statement create different records and audiences. You can read before joining. You can ask about a group’s privacy rules without giving a full biography.

How did religious identity change in Kenya?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Kenya table shows 2.4% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 1.6% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 83.1% | 85.7% | +2.6 pp |
| Muslim | 11.2% | 10.9% | -0.3 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 2.4% | 1.6% | -0.8 pp |
| Buddhist | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Hindu | 0.1% | 0.1% | 0.0 pp |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | 3.1% | 1.7% | -1.4 pp |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
