Why are you atheist?

[Mystic]

You are right that it doesn't make it right or wrong.

Well, it's not so much about if it's right but that it goes against the natural tendency. There is more reasons in my case. The religious see this natural tendency as divinely mandated and society is still religious. Now Christians are more so open about this issue now, but, my family, my distant family, my community, how would they react? I can't blame them from naturalism perspective to their judgement, because evolution programmed us that way, and it also programmed us to succumb to the praise consensus of society.

They naturally have this feeling (evolution) and it's amplified via culture and religion (Islam). I don't know. I don't want to dishonour my family to be honest. And I haven't even came out that I have left Islam (only my family and a few other people know).

Is it wise to go against the values of the society you are brought up with, to create a bad image of yourself? I don't know. Perhaps, we should aim to destroy these cultural barriers and taboos, or perhaps not.

I don't know. I am confused to be honest about this issue.
