Résumé,
This work sets out to examine the role of religion as a seductive tool for achieving one's material ambitions throughout exploitation.
But if this fails, the bourgeoisie class people use force to maintain the proletariat class under their own control ; and make them work on their behalf.
The work also intends to analyses the religiosity of the post-colonial native rich people as represented here by the kiois on one hand ; and on the other hand, the blindness of the poor masses in the matter of religion of the Kiguundas, the poor working class representatives.
Religion, in Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Ngugi Wa Mirii's I will Mary When I want, has, no less intention of uniting people as brothers and sisters in Christ ; but it is somehow a tool for a socio-economic and materialistie exploitation. It is, therefore, in this perspective that this work, by using the Marxism Approach, which advocates revolutionary sentiment or vision of the voiceless and alienated people by the bourgeoisie class, lights the Kenyan poor working masses in order to know about what is religion as a poison of the mind.
This study also helps them realize how the so-called Christianity is acting on them as a tool for earning life in the hands of the leaders.
This work concludes that Kioi is represented as a native rich figure whose prevailing motive is to keep the new converts trapped in the "well" of religious absurdity
