I'm now at the end of the process of losing my faith. I used to be a Muslim. Now, Who the hell knows??! I from a very conservative religious country. It shall not be named (Hint: desert+oil) It took me five or six years to arrive here. I was on the fence for two years.
I was a very ideological Muslim. Although, I wasn't practicing much. However, I was very enthusiastic about "Islam and its glory".
Anyway, here I am today, writing in an atheist forum!
I need to hear from those who have been through this phase. What should I do now? I can't be "business as usual". What should I expect? How should I approach life now? The only approach I had my entire life is the Islamic religious approach. Now, How should I live my life? Where should I take my morals from? I don't think atheists have no morals BTW but I have no idea how do they approach morality.
Now, it seems like I have to rethink my whole life. My whole future.
Keep in mind that I can't come out as an atheist, otherwise, I'm going to lose everyone I care about. Damn religion.Anyone went through a similar experience and have any advice for me?
Hi, and welcome to the forums.
You said that you weren't exactly a practicing Muslim, and now after five years or so (including two years of fence-sitting) you've lost your faith. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share what happened during those five years that led to your sitting on the fence, and what brought you down from that fence onto the no-faith side.
