Shackled by religion

[Chemelonique]

I can empathize with you Gor. I understand the position that you are in. I'm a 20 year old ex-Muslim myself and I also have not told my family or my closest friends that I am an atheist. I think eventually I will have to tell them though. For example, under Islam a woman has to marry a Muslim man. I cannot see myself marrying a Muslim man. So I imagine my parents meeting the guy I want to marry and not liking him because he's not Muslim. Lol at that point I am going to have to tell them. I would definitely wait until you are financially independent and have a place to go if things don't work out well when you tell them. When you tell them sit them down and explain respectfully and honestly why you decided to become an atheist.
