hello atheists from around the earth !

Welcome.
So, can I assume that since you're from Saudi Arabia that you must keep the fact that you're questioning religion to yourself?

Exactly . But i have someone from work who basically shares the same beliefs . Half of my family are Muslims, the other half are Christian bcoz of their American mom .

Wow, you are certainly in a tough position. How fundamentalist are your religious relatives?
Oh, and welcome to the atheist forums.

Welcome! I thought we non-believer types had it hard in the U.S... I definitely do not envy you that. You can learn a lot here if you let yourself.

Sadly , i feel alone in this and almost like a bad person . My mom would be devastated if she ever found out . Other family members would probably never talk to me again . I wish i could be one of them but i know that i will never be .
Actually , im thinking to apply for a green card and move to the US for good . RE: hello atheists from around the earth !

It says a lot about the kind of people they are.

Theyre only Muslims and they do what their religion asks them to do . If a Moslem converts to another religion or becomes an atheist then he's considered a sinner and must be killed .
At least ,i wouldn't have to cover my body with abaya there . (April 19, 2012 at 3:53 pm)Memz Wrote: Sadly , i feel alone in this and almost like a bad person .

If you can get to a country with more liberal laws on the books regarding religious belief, that is what I would do if I were you. Whatever you do, do it safely. I'll be thinking of you, and hoping the best for you in your situation.
