Claim: Zimbabwe is a Christian Nation
Fact-check: Zimbabwe a Christian nation? Nope, just a regular secular one - FactCheckZW
Verdict: false. zimbabwe is unlike countries like zambia. zambia's then president declared the country a christian nation in 1991. this was legalised in 1996 through a constitutional amendment declaring the republic 'a christian nation while upholding the right of every person to enjoy that person's freedom of conscience or religion'. while zimbabwe can be said to be a nation of self identified christians, the claim that it is a christian nation is false. the christian nation tag, which often makes an appearance when issues of morality are discussed, is problematic in that it limits public discourse and channels it in a certain direction, when in actual fact, it is a false claim.
