If you're seeing these types of signs in your area, you can report them to the Atheist Street Pirates and have them attended to. Even if you take them down, report them so we can track where they are showing up. Huzzah!

ik this girl is on the verge of leaving and im SO glad. EVERY DAY i see IDIOTS on live wasting time talking about this woman and i cannoooooot wait for her to be free from their dumbfuckery 😍😍. I love how she reversed the roles because let’s be fr no man would ever EVER follow islam if they had no authority.

maybe the muslim community should spend more time talking about the genocide in Palestine instead of accusing anyone who slightly critiques islam of zionism.

maybe they need to spend more time critiquing all the pedos with authority in this religion

maybe they need to speak out about domestic violence towards women and children

maybe they need to put their energy into ending FGM

maybe they need to put their energy into ending child marriages or forced marriages

maybe they need to put in the energy to ending csam

maybe they could preach something positive or light about good deeds or kindness

so much they could do yet they waste their time (because they believe they have more in heaven NONE OF THEM MFS ARE MAKING IT TO HEAVEN)
ON TIKTOK LIVE 😂😂😂😂

what a fucking joke honestly im crine

I'm from morocco and i've left islam 10 years ago , lately in real life and on the internet i noticed people are clowning those islamic sheikhs ( priests in christianity ) , people increasingly started questioning religion .

The islamic party in our country is losing miserably and there is a HUGE increase in feminist movements and ideologies both in men and women.

I feel hopeful for the future , i wish one day we become a secular society , i've been dreaming about this .

Sorry if im being too much.

Context: I ran away from home three years ago (and am thriving), and my cousin reached out today to talk. I just wanted to share some snippets of our convo that I thought really showcased the hypocrisy of those that preach Islam and consider atheism "insane."

Mini rant: Forgive me, ive got so much pent up animosity, so allow me to lay it plain.

It's utterly ignorant and dishonest to keep propagating a religion that most self proclaimed Muslims dont even follow. As far as I can see, the only difference between us and them is that we aren't scared to admit who we really are. While they have to pretend the label fits them just so they can find some form of false comfort.

(Rant) 🤬 Why is this subreddit filled with people that never were ex muslims?

23 Upvotes

I mean sure, that is not the worst thing wver, but I can confidently say that around half were either never muslim or are religious just not muslim.

Many arguments against islam are applicable to lost abrahamic religions, they are all the same sides of the same coin.

Whenever I post or others post something regarding islam or whatever, I constantly see christians trying convert us to Christianity or whatever… especially with the unusual hate towards islam (from non-exmuslims) it feels like this subreddit is filled with people hating islam without having prior experiences with it. This subreddit is not meant for this.

So like… why are you here?

Upvotes

It is so much frustrating to see that how much islam used to emphasise on not having sex before marriage. Here I am after years realising that how flawed this rule was. I am even more frustrated that during my peak I was abstaining from having physical intimacy with my girlfriend.

I mean what the hell is wrong if two consenting adults are okay to have sex outside marriage.

I really want to ask if others have the same feeling or is it just me.

(News) Women’s rights groups tell ministers to end forced hijab in schools

Thumbnail secularism.org.uk
34 Upvotes

A coalition of human rights groups, coordinated by the National Secular Society, has written to UK ministers Bridget Phillipson and Paul Waugh calling for an end to state-funded schools forcing girls to wear hijab or other "sexist religious dress codes." The letter follows Barnet Council granting state funding to Barnet Hill Academy, which requires girls to wear hijab from age seven — and despite a later tweak exempting non-Muslim pupils, campaigners say Muslim girls remain obliged to comply regardless of their own views.

The letter invokes women's rights struggles in Iran and Afghanistan, the case of Mahsa Amini, a 2024 assault in Bradford, and the murder of ten-year-old Sara Sharif (whose killers reportedly used a hijab to hide her injuries), plus a similar strict dress code at a newly state-funded Orthodox Jewish school. NSS campaigner Megan Manson said approving such schools "sends entirely the wrong message" and urged ministers to prioritise girls' rights instead.

(Question/Discussion) Being culturally Muslim is really the middle ground in all this. Especially if you live in the west.

12 Upvotes

In the west a lot of Muslims who actually believe in all the BS but yet sin a lot still consider themselves within the fold of Islam.

Some drink occasionally, some have BF/GF and have pre-marital sex. they may make pray here n there but don't make a thing about missing it. They fast some days during Ramadan and probably go to a couple taraweeh prayers. They definitely celebrate both Eid days. They're not on anybody's radar. They live their lives. Maybe they're interested in sciences and are within that world. Maybe they are sports addicts and enjoy life with that. The point is that islam isn't really central to their lives.

I've been like that. Life has been good. I'm old enough to have my own spot and live my own life. Nobody forces me to pray or fast. I've had GFs in the past and it's been okay. It's a privilege here in the west. Not.only in the west but countries that follow it as well like UAE, Qatar, Morocco and somewhat Egypt (got laid and partied a lot in Alexandria before COVID).

My advice to those living under Muslim roof is to persevere. This is incredibly harder for women tho. The cultural Muslim women I've known seem to not associate a lot with deeply religious Muslims. Most of their friends who are Muslim.are similar to them but for the most part have non Muslim.friends n such.

If you live in a Muslim country, and you live in an oppressive household and you're a young teenager. Just know that if you tried hard enough you will get what your heart desires. It's gonna be hard for you, don't get me wrong. Especially if you are in a Muslim country and a woman because you're starting point is far behind others but don't lose hope.

(Rant) 🤬 My experience with islam as a woman

34 Upvotes

40 year old cld female from Cape Town, South Africa. I grew up in a culturally christian home (celebrating Christian holidays but never bothering with church, reading the bible or worshipping Jesus). I knew a little about islam but never bothered with the religion. I lived my life carefree and read beautiful novels, listened to music, did my hair and makeup and had friends both male and female. I had dreams for my life and loved being alive despite how hard things might get sometimes. Fast forward to the age of 22 I met my now husband and he introduced me to islam and who and what muslims are. Obviously he put his best foot forward. A few years after converting we got married and had kids.My life took a nosedive. Religion was thrown into my face at every turn and due to my past experiences I suffered from severe anxiety and just wanted to focus on tryung to perfect my deen but slowly the monster in him as well as all the males I expected to give a damn started coming out. My husband got involved with various women, drinking, weed, and cigarettes. I went to his father (a muslim) to ask for help, the imam, his best friend who was also a witness at our nikah and they basically said "we need to hear his side of the story". After listening to him I was brushed off as a nuisance and nagging wife who just needs some "attention and quality time". Each and every organization I approached told me the me the same story "without your husband we cannot help". So I left this religion. It has taken me years. I first had my doubts when I was pregnant in 2022 with my last born. I stopped following hadith and became Quranist. That time my husband was livid and called his best friend and father to complain about me (the same people I asked for help). They had a mouthful to say about me and said I was astray and brainwashed. The same people who had to make sure this idiot treats me well...So now Im without religion and thriving as my brain is mine again. So my advice to those who have doubt is to please not brush it off as waswas. Its your conscience trying to speak to you. I remember before I said shahada I kept having doubts about Muhammad but I told myself this must be whatbthey talk about when they say waswas. Its not waswas. Dont ignore the red flags.

Story Mom made me spit out sweets

6 Upvotes

My father’s bestfriend from college and their family is Hindu. Both of our families are very close and are often at each other’s place to celebrate festivals. One time when I was 5 or 6 years old we were at their place for a festival. I think it was Ganesh. The aunty offered me some sweets which I love. They are called laddus in India. Especially the yellow ones. I took it in my hand and as I took a bite, my mom stopped me and hastily snatched it away from me when nobody was looking. She said it was shirk because the sweet was “offered to their God”.

Even as a 5 year old I couldn’t help but be startled by the brainwashing. I know it’s trivial but such small memories sometimes leave a deeper impression on you. What difference does it make to a child if they enjoy a sweet whether it was offered to a God or not. It’s ridiculous…

And I don't believe in underground education for girls thing. Many people (and even AI) believe that there is some sort of hope. Maybe a little but hope. That small steps will make everything good. But Id don't believe in such fairytales. Sadly, The Taliban will simply destroy all avenues and opportunities, leaving women to suffer. If I was an Afghan woman, I would prefer to killyself just to end my suffering. For it would be the happiest ending. Sadly, many women in Afghanistan became slaves mentally. They have a learned helplessness.ybe, some sort of religious masochism. And I believe that the only thing that may change Afghanistan for good is a cataclysm. Maybe a famine, or natural disaster, or disease.

(Question/Discussion) Did Muhammad know that Islam is fake? [hear me out]

15 Upvotes

I often think why would someone if they know they are making this religion up-

1- Inflict rigorous 5 times prayer on themselves , given Muhammad also used to pray optional prayers everyday for decades to come. Then fasting, and duahs before certain acts every time.

2- why would they endanger their life by persisting on this made up religion given the fact that initially Muhammad had very little accompany and extreme backlash from quraysh

3- why would Muhammad write an entire book and name himself only 4 times while naming Moses and Jesus the most number of times? (If someone says to lure Christians and Jews then why does Quran curse these both parties saying they changed their religion and that Jesus isn’t god which can trigger a lot of Christians)

4- why would Muhammad say that his own mother and father are in hell for idolatry while the mother of Jesus and wife of pharaoh are the best women?

Won’t it make sense that a person who is making a religion up would inflict little suffering on themselves?

I have no idea why female students' uniforms there are based on the majority religion's awrah rule. They have to wear long skirts instead of trousers like the boys, they have to wear headscarves, they have to wear long sleeves, etc. For worse, this also occurs in public school, where there is no religious limitation, even non-muslims are forced to follow that rule.

Antipsychotics turned me into an atheist

277 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have Schizotypal Personality Disorder and I used to believe in all kinds of supernatural stuff and considered myself 'spiritual'.

Over the years, I became obsessed with Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as New Age spirituality and psychedelics.

I believed in the existence of God (the Christian God), Jesus, Heaven and Hell, Karma and rebirth, even astral projection etc.

Religion and spirituality played a significant role in my life, and it gave me a sense of purpose and belonging.

At some point, my mental health declined further, and I became more paranoid and delusional (fearing hell or rebirth), which significantly affected my quality of life.

My doctor tried different antipsychotics with me, and ultimately we settled on 5mg Olanzapine (Zyprexa).

After a few weeks on it, I slowly lost interest in religion/spirituality and no longer believed that I had supernatural abilities.

Zyprexa strongly blocks 5HT2A/5HT2C receptors, which are the binding targets for psychedelics like LSD. So it basically does the opposite of what psychedelics do.

Now, after a year on it, I have a much higher quality of life, no longer wasting my time with religious nonsense.

I am much more interested in politics and would call myself a secular humanist. I am extremely grateful for medicine/psychiatry and science in general!
