Hello everyone, my name is Simo and I am a Muslim and thought it might be good to talk with atheists and agnostics on this forum.

Hello and welcome to HAF, Simo. We have one other relatively active Muslim member, but he's been busy with his studies lately, I think. It's good to have you here.

Welcome. New perspectives are always welcome here.
It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against Christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science - Charles Darwin

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the object of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a god, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. - Albert Einstein

Religion is a by product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity. - Arther C. Clarke

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Hello everyone, my name is Simo and I am a Muslim and thought it might be good to talk with atheists and agnostics on this forum.

Greetings!  Many of my university students are Muslims studying in the U.S.  I don't tell them I am an atheist, though, as some of them have no context in which to understand that. I simply say I am not religious.

I look forward to hearing from you.
