Living in an Islamic country

Fair enough, I just tried to imagine what that must be like for you and I can't say I blame you for never wanting to pick up a holy book again. That sort of environment as you describe it would do anybody's head in.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Then when you are capable of moving away you can give up the act. You are native to think the declaration of atheism will end the religious intolerance. If BlackBox declared his lack of beliefs, he can't guarantee his safety if he remain as a resident of Algeria. Edited: I sure hope BlackBox move out of that country.

But it really doesn't work. I did it before, hell! I never said that I'm a non-believer but just because I think differently and do not go to the mosque, I appear as a "sinner" and thus an atheist. -I'm a girl btw

For your safety, would it be easier just to pretend and go through the motions and attend mosque until you are older and live on your own? I know that wouldn't be easy but just going to the mosque does not mean that you agree with their beliefs but you are simply attending to make your own life less complicated... for now.
