A young man who works in a mining company has gone viral on social media after claiming that he no longer attends church.

According to the miner, who was captured in a widely circulated video, attending church has never been a significant part of his life since childhood.

During the interview, conducted by a man behind the camera, the miner stated that instead of attending church and spending money there, he would rather donate to orphanages and support vulnerable children.

He explained that although he once attended church, he decided to stop after learning that the Church of Pentecost had used church funds to build a prison instead of directing those resources toward supporting the poor and needy within the church.

"I was a member of The Church of Pentecost, but I stopped attending after church funds were used to build a prison while some people are dying of hunger elsewhere. The Church of Pentecost has a university, yet church members who attend the institution still pay fees. I would rather give my offerings and tithes to support orphans," he said.

The miner further argued that although the church owns a university, members from poor backgrounds do not receive free access to education and are still required to pay tuition fees.
