Unfortunately not pure Yankee shit, due to colonialism lots of people in South Saharan Africa are religious fundamentalists, I think the latest stats is 75-80% of South Africans view themselves as Christian and 56% believe in some form of creationism and deny the fact of evolution. It also leads to really contradictory views such as 80% of people believing homosexually is morally wrong but 70% of people willing to accept and protect the rights of gay people. Just really confusing as someone that's lived there all my life
