BBC story on Butt Naked. 3 videos in sequence. One issue it made me think about was a totally pragmatic one independent of the moral and metaphysical puzzles associated with the situation. It is: Does religion give people something to do other than fight? In other words do the mythical and fantastical elements of Pentecostal christianity as embraced by people like Blahyi, distract the population enough from the awful horrors of their past and present long enough to re-establish a functioning society with enough social sanctions to re-establish and maintain a healthy social and economic order?
