i saw an interesting tiktok video

to put it short. it was about africa and christianity, the girl claimed that the reason africa is so underdeveloped is because they have a lot of churches. sounds stupid, right? well, because it is!

africa is not underdeveloped because of religion, if we took that logic and applied it to a country like the US which is also a christian-dominated country then they should be underdeveloped as well. but, this also made me realize that not many people are actually aware (or choose to be ignorant) of the reason why africa of all continents is not as developed as europe, north america and some parts of asia.

for those who don't know, africa had been colonized and exploited by the west and west asia (commonly known as the middle east) and the continent still continues to be exploited today. its not the religion holding it back per se, its the western world that is holding it back
