hello everyone

i'm arabian human .. left the religion that i Inherited from my parents

because alot of reasons .. Including

- i believe that the goal of Punishment is reform
so i don't think that there is any reform in the immortal fire

- Error in the application (Acts of Muslims and And terrorist events) . is Error in theory (religion - islam)
Especially that the person who Initiated this religion is the creator of human minds and surely he know the Differences in thinking among people

That's what I guessed.     It must be so hard not being able to be yourself - I hope you can do that here on the forum and be able to express your thoughts and feelings.

Welcome.

Sounds like you have a long struggle ahead of you.  'Coming out' to a family who is still religious is no easy feat, and I wish you luck.  Aside from that, welcoem to HAF.

'Coming out' to a family

I didn't get the impression Ex-Muslim has any intention of 'coming out' and I don't blame him (or her?).

I mean coming out in terms of telling them about his religious choices.  Even if he never does tell them, it's hard to deal with keeping it a secret, too.

Are you aware of the consequences of being known as an atheist in an Islamic community?

I'm not terribly familiar with Egyptian Islamic culture, but isn't honor killing a real concern with more fundamentalist believers?  Atheists whose families are Christian are often concerned about being open about their lack of belief out of fear of being shunned, but the threat of death is pretty low.  I may just be assuming way too much based on very little information, but the threat of being killed when you are an atheist in an Islamic culture is far greater isn't it?

It depends on the country and the particular community (from what I've heard from various Muslims) but suffice it to say that it's a much bigger deal than being shunned by a fundamentalist Christian family.

Thanks for the welcome

Here is a complex

In my country Egypt there is a law called blasphemy and punishable by imprisonment of 3 years .. Even if it is to know that I discussed in religions with scorn, and particularly Islam will be the fate prison ..
If you are married will be to differentiate between you and your wife

you are right .

what can i do  

[Heretical Rants]

The best thing would be to get rid of the blasphemy law...
