Helen Ukpabio and evil assholes like her are known to send mobs to attack anyone who tries to help children accused of being witches or possessed by evil spirits too. So even if people don’t believe in any of it, there is a very real risk that they will be attacked for trying to help.
A lot of evil happens in the name of religion! People in poverty, they give away what little money they have, or retirees that give away the retirement to megachurch pastors. Religions that tell people they can pray away the gay….cause so many suicides.
People with schizophrenia that go down the religion rabbit hole and try to pray away the voices….
Church sex abuse. Holy wars. Crusades. Martyrdom. The entire Middle East. There’s good in religions too. But there’s good and evil everywhere, religions aren’t immune to evil.
It’s hard to tell if she genuinely believes these children are evil and she’s protecting society from them, and any money she makes off of it is just an added perk, or if she’s purely in it to cash in on a moral panic she helped stir up. It’s evil either way.
If people are showing kindness towards a child, people would see the witch as just a child, and her proclamation and authority would be undermined. The populations belief is all she has.
