I meant to say you practice freedom in not believing in religious and Gods...

Good for you.
I'm a former muslim from the Middle-East ... it is very oppressing

@Dreamer777 That is one very difficult religion to leave — not least for what the Quran says about apostasy. ? It also explicitly forbids people from associating with non-believers, doesn't it? There's a Middle-Eastern Muslim guy, I chat with at work — lovely, friendly fellow — but of all the people I know, he's the one whom I've never openly told I'm an atheist, as I worry that he'd feel obliged to shun me if he knew.... Maybe I should ask him?

@DaveMania it is difficult. That's why I've been keeping it a secret as the law states that if exposed, I should be asked to return to the religion and if not then I should be condemned to death.
Quran in some versets forbids association with jews or Christians and non believers in general. That's why most of muslims shun anybody who's not muslim. I'd recommend that you keep things friendly and professional as they are cause your nice guy is trying to showcase himself as a nice model should you be encouraged to become a muslim otherwise the maximum thing he could do is just argue with you all the time trying to proof that he's right! or just be neutral when dealing with you.

How do you feel about it?

Thanks for your kind words. Would you tell me why do you have to keep it to yourself?

@Dreamer777 Family would disown me and I'd lose friends.

@SpikeTalon I'm in the same boat

@SpikeTalon I hear you.. me too ?

Thanks for welcoming me. I agree that it feels great that there's somewhere to feel that nobody can judge me!
I do the same: it's easier to hide it than to listen to all the criticism!

@Dreamer777 We don't judge around here. We speak our minds, and unless it's a troll, or something bad, we have good conversations!

@TheGreatShadow Of course ??

Thank you... indeed it is a relief!

@Dreamer777
We are all with you !

@VAL3941 thank you .. much appreciated ??
