Why do you think, the evangelical snake oil sellers are moving there? Because there's still a market for their shit.

It's actually been happening for a long time, there are plenty of evangelists and missionaries that have spent time trying to convert Africa. Of course, the most crazed of them are coming under fire, with Scott Lively now up on charges of crimes against humanity for his part in Uganda's anti-gay laws.

There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
