Hello y'all..
I'm new here, just call me Gin
I was born in one of largest muslim country,
But my family are buddhist
And I went to a Christian school (Which made me a Christian for quite a while)
Now, I'm an atheist. Simply because i like science.
Being an Atheist in this country is a BIG NO.
So, i can't just say "Hello, Nice to meet you. No, i don't believe in God / Allah, I'm an atheist"
without the risk of going viral and spend the night in jail
Strangely, somehow people in this country seems to think that being Atheist is the same as being a Commies
Just because Karl Marx once said "Religion is the opiate of the masses"
They didn't even bother to learn the rest of the phrase.
So it goes like this.
Karl Marx = Commies
Karl Marx said that Religion is like Opium
Opium = Illegal thing
Meaning Karl Marx was trying to say Religion should be Illegal
That makes Karl Marx an Atheis
Resulting Atheist = Commies
And of course, Commies are all bad
I'm amused by this logic..
So, i just wandering around from one forum to another, looking for "My kind"
But Atheist forum doesn't seem to last very long.
Many of them just simply disappear without a trace.
I think this forum is my 5th or 6th atheist forum i joined so far.
Since the previous ones are no longer around
And btw, English is definitely not my primary language
Sorry for my bad english
Please be gentle if there's grammar error or perhaps a mispelled words.
Looking forward having fun with y'all.

No problems with spelling or grammar, so don't worry about that.
Welcome.
I understand there's a growing atheist community in most Muslim countries?
Please be safe.

Welcome man of many non gods.
I'm going to jump in and say that "religion is the opium of the masses" referred to people's vehicle to find some answers and contentness in an otherwise hopeless miserable situation.
Which is very understandable. Not about the illegality of it ...
It is still the hopium of the masses ...
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Welcome. I hope you didn't bring any of that "Atheist Forum Death" stuff with you. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Perhaps, but if they do exist in here, i think they are being very quiet about it.
To this day, i still haven't found another fellow atheist. And i doubt i will find them anytime soon
It's easier to just blend in.
The best bet is to act like a muslim / christian

You probably know a bunch. If I were an agent of a theocratic state, I'd start with you. I'd assume that people who you knew and who knew you were more likely than their peers to be kafir. You'd be my canary.
Welcome aboard again and like the other guy said, be safe.

Explaining those words to them would require extreme courage.
The risk of being called as Commies sympathisant is really bad
And obviously, commies blood are completely halal
Once, those asswipes was protesting about a Bank's logo, because the B looks like a sickle.

I could convince you that i'm praying so hard, 5 times a day!
Just don't ask me to read a quran.
I would sounds like a very drunk arabian

That's not really what Marx was getting at, but welcome all the same.
