The wiki article on Khari does mention it was regained by Rahadoum during the Glorious Reclamation and cites Scourge of the Godclaw p. 65 as the source. While the infobox and lead say it is part of Cheliax, those parts of the article were written before Scourge of the Godclaw came out and have had very little updates since.

I have a previous thread on the subject. My understanding is that the Scourge of the Godclaw article was meant to be non-canon, but chunks of it have wound up coming to pass, and Khari is currently in Rahadoumi hands.
I believe we're slated to visit the place in the new AP after Hellbreakers.

Khari's wiki page doesn't draw from anything more recent than 2016. That is, it doesn't consider the World Guide or other Lost Omens sources (including Firebrands which puts Khari in Rahadoumi). The map does draw from the World Guide. I fully expect that Khari's status will be a plot point in Hell's Destiny.
So now the good clerics and good people of Khari are being oppressed by anti-theists of Rahadoum
Got to suck for them to go from being oppressed by asmodeus to being oppressed by rahadoum.
But I am curious to see it in that ap.

Under Chelish rule, you got to at least worship Abadar and a few other gods. You don't even get that under the Rahadoumi.

Sure...? Abadar's an odd choice given his allowance of evil and the degradation of humanity (et al) into commodities. You can follow a religion...as long as it meshes well with the abusive hierarchy. I doubt Cheliax abides much with the Holy factions/denominations within these few religions it does allow. Religion's of little value if churned through an authoritarian filter.
Not that the Rahadoumi necessarily share their infrastructure & education with those they've conquered, but they might. It's the leadership that's dangerous/corrupt/authoritarian vs. Cheliax where all that (and more) pervades the whole culture, everyone's heel on the neck of anyone below them if they're not locked in a perilous struggle to rectify matters.
Even if religious I'd much prefer living among the Rahadoumi assuming my religion didn't require proselytizing, icons, or other overt displays. At least for any religion (or denomination thereof) worth its salt.

My understanding is that ALL practices relating to religion (even private ones) are forbidden in Rahadoum.

Yes. My point was that unless one's religion requires overt practices, one could hide one's religiosity. Just like followers of decent religions in Cheliax also have to hide their religiosity; except they're suffering in Cheliax (or causing suffering). If I have to hide my religiosity (or conform to a feeble religion that supports/allows Chelaxian authoritarianism) I'd prefer living in Rahadoum. Life for the generic civilian seems much better there, especially if interested in science, education, medicine, etc.
Of course one might then ask what it means to follow a religion if it's only in one's mind, but charity, meditation, morality, community, etc. are universal values*, so one could practice their religion's versions w/o standing out.
*Arguably less so in Cheliax, my main point. Being wholesome might draw unwanted attention whereas I doubt it would in Rahadoum.
