Hi There! I just found your blog and you write very well. Congratulations. I want to know if you have given up writing because there are no updates on the blog. I myself am an Ex-muslim and now atheist but can’t write very well. I hope you start writing again because I’m sure there are a ton of muslims who are atheist now but are afraid to come out. We need to be an encouragement for eachother so please keep writing.
Thank you!
Lala…
u did good but people who r looking at this may also need to kno how many people from pakistan are athiest, lik 4 a report!!!
Well it’s good to see that you are one of the few people who think logically… I myself am a muslim….But unlike majority of the muslims in the world i have researched and foundout logical reasons for gods existence and also the reason why islam is the only religion to stay with… and to tell you the truth it feels fantastic when your trust on your beleif and concepts are unshakable… I don’t know why i’m saying this all… but the thing i’m sure about is that i really want to test my beleif… i would really like to discuss basic concepts of islamic and communist ideology with you… so that if you are right i may convert to the right path, where as you do the same if i’m correct… I hope you’ll like to discuss too… because in this world one may find only a few people discussing these kinds of things… Generally people say that islam stops these kinds of discussions but actually it promotes thinking on these lines… because if your beleif is backed by your rational and provides tranquility to your heart then you can really carry that beleif…
I hope didn’t waste your time…
And i also hope that you’ll soon write to my email address…
bye
hello Mr. Saad.
my name is Tahir also a Pakistani, i would love to discuss with you about what are you asking to Mr. atheist. i would love to share and listen any materials about religions and history must be base on fact and make sense to discuss in a civilized manners. i have some good questions and answers regarding that, so if you are interesting kindly than drop a word at my email add at tahirjahn@gmail.com. i am looking forward for your reply. thanks and have pleasant day.
i begin to have serious doubt and skepticisam over what in the medium of ideology and relegion is spoonfed to us . For the last few months i have had full time internet and had so much exposure to all cross-currents of life, god, philosophy, science and the assinine attitude of relegious bigots that it sets me on a very unconventional thinking apparatus, i believe in god all the more now but i think no relegion is necessary for ultimate union with god, and an athiest is at far higher plane of understanding of god than deeply relegious ones. indeed being a rational athiest is what god want us to be.
The way you “Ex-Muslim Atheist” proclaim yourselves to be interlectual, with your interest in philosophy, as if to be atheist is somehow to find enligtenment. That may be the case. But next time you are here in the UK, where most people are atheiest,agnistic or “Not bothered”, you should sit down and chat with the common folk about life, and I’m sure you will be astounded at just how enlightended they are about life the universe, Big Brother, tattoos, boozing, holidays, tv.Then compare this to a conversation you might have with a “simple” villager in Paskinan and I bet you’ll find moire insight and thought from the uneducated Muslim paindoo than from the average GCSE laiden brit.
I really would love to see you and your western-secular loving droolers come and stay in a place like Salford or Croxteth and see for yourselves what the end result of “enlightended free-thinking” for the masses leads to. I bet yo can’t wait for the day when your sister have 5 kids from 5 different fathers , when there isnt even a semblance of respstc between elders and younguns. No really, you should come watch Big Brother and be amazed at the high brow stuff coming out from people , and not one mention of religion – you’ll be overjoyed.
Still, you’re learning well – your “a picture paints a thousand words” caption is classical anti-Muslim media stuff. Absence of context, and balance. If I recall correctly, there weren’t huge armies of Muslims invading Denmark, and actually many Muslims made an effort to engage in the debate (not always possible in the highly intellectualised western media to have a fair debate thoigh is it). Some, myslef included boycott Danish products – this is a legimate protest tool open to all and used by allsorts of people, even your vbeloved US will use this to starve people.
Still, it’sgood to know that in Paskinan you tread carefully … let’s pray that itstays that way ….. forever.
Dear SR,
my name is tahir syed a Pakistani also.. i am not as well educated as you are and others on this site but i dare to say that i am blessed with good common sense well read of all sorts of religions books. i hate debates and arguments specially about religion and politics, but would love to shares ideas in a civilized manner with the peoples, who had a great patience and knowledge.. i like wise agreed with cultural immorality you wrote down here of the place of so called free world where you are leaving presently.. but i would dare to say that immorality has nothing to do with that being religious or non religious, its all about person own character and behavior, and understanding the difference between right and wrong. i will gave no examples of others but my very own self and to go further, and also if you are interesting too to know, than please let me know.my email address is tahirjahn@gmail.com.. i am looking forward to hear from you .. thank you and have pleasant day…..
I like your website. I am also from Pakistan and moved to North America 20 years ago. I hated the fact that God was enforced 24/7 in Pakistan. Unfortunately I am married to a Pakistani woman and slowly we have built a circle of Pakistani friends and relatives. I have yet to come across another true Pakistani atheist and I feel very lonely here.
I wonder if you know anyone like us in Canada? My advice for you would be to move here as well if you wanna live free of fear.

We are an atheist Pakistani family living in Canada.
There are plenty more of us out there than you would think. We’re just afraid to tell each other, pretty sad. You’ll find that Pakistani Atheists admit their lack of faith to people of all other faiths, other than Muslims– for obvious fear of being criticized and seen as social outcasts.
Emancipate yourself and come out of the Islamic Closet!

Hi, I don’t know your name so I’ll just address this to whoever writes this blog
all I have to say is WICKED job!
first of …That is EXACTLY my story!!
Here are some of similarities:
- the fact that it didn’t happen over night
- at first your beliefs were of an agnostic THEN an atheist
- the fact that Philosophy was what motivated you to become a conscious thinker
- the fact the your parents were slight more religious then most ( my family is religious in the sense that they pray 4 times a day, etc however hijaab and music and that stuff, there is no issue about that
- the fact that you had this change within you was during your teen years and especially at the time you needed it the most (I’m going to be 18 in July and have been thinking like this for the past year and a half, ever since I was 16)
I mean just loads of things that you went through, I went through as well! it great to know you are a Pakistani as well! but the thing is I don’t know if I’m ready to classify myself as an atheist at this point because its a confusing thing to go through, especially if you were a Muslim before, and Islam as a religion is great, its just not for me
I wanted to ask you, how will you be raising your kids?
Muslims or atheist?
honestly, I think I wont be forcing Islam on them, whatever makes them happy
YET at the same time, I know most people need something to believe in, like I did before, still do, but now its not as painful knowing that I firmly don’t believe in an after life and God
so yeah def. get back!
also where are you from in Pakistan? i’m from Lahore, was born there but was raised in North America , mainly Toronto, Canada
tc
bye!
I am also in Canada in GTA.
oops, I meant we pray 5 times a day…
Congratulations for your brave, sincere and intellectual stance. It must be very tough to be in your shoes, I hope you keep your inner strength and I hope in the future you will not be forced to hide your views from your surrounding. I will end this with one question: have you ever thought about moving to a secular country where you could openly share your philosophy and if yes, how come you have not done this yet? Best wishes.
I have to say, welcome to hell and congratulations in freeing yourself from the misery and fear of blind faith and religious dogma force fed to us by our society and religion (like Islam) as a whole.
I had a similar journey myself and you are not alone my friend
I am also a fellow Pakistani and a fellow Atheist (‘Dehria’ in Urdu) ex-Muslim. I call myself a Secular Humanist
I would like to invite you to the Council of ExMuslims website http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php (unless you arent there already) and I hope you join our forum and be a part of us.
Share your story and find support and others who appreciate who they really are.
Kabhi kabhar baat cheet karney sey hii insaan apney aap ko jaan sakta hai.
We are a couple of Atheists in Karachi and have a support group arranging regular meetups. Drop me a note or ask your KHI friends to drop me a note for an invitation to the FB group where they can get more details. Just make sure no infidel killers are invited

i am atheist from the uk and i just wanted to say i think youre brilliant and applaud you for this page and all the thinking and research you must have undertaken on your path. i was slighly put out by one of the posts above (from SR)about the uk but i have to say that we have ignorant limited people here just like in every society and not all of them are atheist. the world is changing very fast and although i celebrate the decline of religion it seems that some people need to think a little about moral standards (again ,not just those with no religion). really though, the nicest people i know tend to be atheist or agnostic and a good place to make friends and discuss these things is youtube. there are always debates going on and there are a rapidly growing number of exmuslims who do not feel alone anymore. my best friend from age 5 to 15 was muslim and i remember many cultural absurdities that she had to endure (her mother is english). im proud to say she went her own way although her relationship with her father suffered greatly. she is a doctor and mother and loves the freedom we enjoy here as women. good luck, o fellow truther. i wish you and all other on here much peace,luck and love.
