Botswana

Botswana is evangelical Protestant as a country. The dominant religious context is: Christian majority (~79%, Protestant plurality) with significant African Initiated Church presence.

Protestant and evangelical deconstruction in Botswana usually involves a tighter community than the cultural Catholic version. Sunday is part of the social architecture, the small group is part of the friend network, and stepping out is felt by everyone in the church within a few weeks. The pillar page on evangelicalism and the page on finding friends will be especially relevant.

Leaving in Botswana mostly costs you on a family scale rather than a community or legal scale. The conversations are real and sometimes painful, but the wider society is not configured to punish unbelief.
