my experience as non reilgous living in saudi arabia (extremely religious country)
Hey everyone
i would like to share with you guys a slice of my live as someone who lives in (saudi arabia) where the most religiously obsessive society exist. i think i will summarize my ideas cause it's almost bedtime for me.
as someone use his logical thinking and deny any kind of religion. finding my self between extreme type of Muslims is a living hell. cause i receive this kind of mistreatment from my boss and co-workers cause I'm not praying to god as they do... imagine living in a place where your boss tell you (do your prayers) which include specific body movement that last for almost 7 minutes ... it's bad feeling guys and i would like know what's will you feel if you experience something like that.
now i would like to work in another country but i don't know how to start cause I've been born here.

Are you a loud and proud apostate or...isn't apostasy illegal in Saudi Arabia?

You start by going to an embassy of a country you're interested in and applying to emigrate. I don't know how far you are from Riyadh, but it shouldn't be too difficult for you to get there.

Please be safe, the kingdom has declared atheists to be terrorists; don't actually say you don't believe in Allah and be careful where you post it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Well remember, those other countries are better because people actively worked to overthrow their oppressive religious regimes, so who knows, one day you'll all overthrow Islam which is a great cancer of human mind.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'm not sure why you wouldn't trust an embassy.  Part of the reason they exist at all is to help people emigrate.

The rules for immigrants vary from country to country.  You should probably do some research before you decide.  And no, I wouldn't recommend just showing up.  What you might try is going on holiday to the country of your choice and then applying for citizenship. 

But, as I said, do some research.  I've never heard of a country requiring that you announce your atheism to the media.

Help people emigrate isn't a mission of embassies but they have the mission to give visa to people who have the right to emigrate in the state they represent.
Emigrate is a right but it is also a privilege because a state can refuse your candidacy even if you fulfill the legal conditions to emigrate into this state.

You can't going on holiday to the country and then applying for citizenship because you need to fulfill conditions.
In the majority of countries of the world the conditions are the next.
1.Live there legally for a certain duration (5 years in the majority of countries of the world)
2.Pass a language test of a language spoken in the country
3.Being of good character (That means no criminal conviction at all or no criminal conviction since a certain duration. Convictions in foreign countries for things that aren't criminal infractions in the country the person is applying for citizenship are generally not taken into account)
4.Have a work in the country you are applying for citizenship or have sufficient money

In some countries like Antigua and Barbuda , Cyprus , Malta , Montenegro , Saint Kitts and Nevis , Saint Lucia and many others.
There are programs of citizenship by investment but this way to get a citizenship is cost full and unaffordable for the majority of us.
