Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has described himself as an atheist who is fascinated by the worship of Orisa.
Speaking with CNN’s Larry Madowo, Soyinka said the worship of Orisa is more artistic, creative, and mysterious than Christianity or Islam.
He said: “I was fortunate to be born in two worlds—the Christian world and traditional Orisa worshippers. I don’t find much of the mysterious in Christianity and even less in Islam. And that is for a simple reason that I didn’t grow up in a Muslim environment.”
