What if Zuckerberg were a Nigerian atheist?

There are three American brands that Nigerians patronide hugely: Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple.
Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook, is an atheist; Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, is an agnostic (neither believes nor doubts the existence of God); Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, was a Zen Buddhist. Yet, Nigerians love them and patronise their products hugely.
If these three men were Nigerians who professed atheism, agnosticism and Zen Buddhism publicly, how would many Nigerians react to them?
Last week, Zuckerberg visited Nigeria and many Nigerians were drooling over him for walking and jogging in Lagos. He left for Kenya and was pictured eating ugali and tilapia with his bare hands. Many Nigerians shared the photograph and captioned it, “Zuckerberg enjoying Nigerian meal with his bare hands like a true Nigerian.”
