We have active Muslims from your area on this board alone.

Sure i understand and thanks for the tip! i didn't really think about what would happen if i put my name i just typed it. i always do that so its became sort of a habit to me. but do they really track me via the internet? i never heard any stories of it.

You're in saudi arabia and you're thinking of telling ur parents ? HOLY SHIT !!!

Don't you even think about it, even if you're financially independent in saudi arabia , don't even tell your cat .

Never trust a cat.

i had a cat and a dog! but my father threw them away because he said they are "unclean". i think what he actually meant was they are costing too much money. you ask where did he threw them away in the street!
i was 9 when that happened i cried for a week! phew glad i didnt tell my cat. shes a real talker that cat.

my chances are probably good as my lowest grade i got was a B+ in islam.
yes they really do force every school to teach it.

First up, don't worry, your English is fine (better than many native speakers, in fact).

I know it's difficult to live a lie, especially for atheists in a religiously dominated culture, but in your instance I would suggest keeping quiet about it, at least initially.

Bring up atheists with your parents, without saying that you are one, and see their reaction. That will give you some indication of how they will react.

I know there's a growing number of atheists quietly living within Saudi, and indeed, Muslim society (if the reports I've read are correct), but when the country indentifies atheists as "terrorists" it might be prudent to remain silent for the time, until there's a cultural shift - and indications are there's such a shift slowly going on behind the scenes in the Muslim world - at least I hope so.

i did bring up what he thought about them here is how it happened.
we where watching football/soccer and then my brother ask my father whats that player religion as he likes to know all of their beliefs he then says nothing he is a stupid atheist and when i heard about that i asked him Why? he says: atheist are stupid ignorant humans who don't read about Islam and are satanist.... as i was completely shocked i quickly said: yeah you are right. and then everything continued normally, but that moment was completely shocking and i should have probably mentioned this in the post.
