Greetings! Welcome to the site!

Welcome to this world of rationality, truth and peace, where common sense and science lead to freethinking wisdom --- as you know as a non believer and freethinker like us.

We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 700 discussion topics and 3500 members.

Welcome, Sayed! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Dark Atheists, Atheists Who Were Muslims and Recovering from Religion.

Having met (online) two other ex-muslims with nihilistic thoughts, I've come to view this as a symptom of not having fully shed Muslim brainwashing. I see the Muslim worldview as part of a reality-limiting memeplex where everything is twisted into either rescuer, persecutor, or victim. ( Christian Fundamentalism does this too.) The religion portrays what they call apostacy (and we call freedom) from a martyr/victim perspective. When you see this darkness as a lingering side effect, it's easier to reinvent your secular happy, hopeful, loving side. You don't have to feel despair. Nihilism could be a string still connecting those old religious thoughts and feelings to your mind now, without your realizing it. You can cut that string. Religions foster this view of what happens when someone leaves, like a time bomb left in you, because it weakens those who free themselves. This strategy has helped them succeed for millenia.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.

After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

UK in the nexus cool!

Thank You.

Hello! I'm going to slowly work the crowd and see how it goes here. Skimming through, I see some promise here lacking in the forum groups I have left.

Thank you for adding me to your stable of friends.

I cannot imagine the difficulty dealing with the real threat that apostasy poses, though to a lesser degree ex-Christians in the USA suffer as well.

On the other hand, as an ex-Wiccan, I find my reception interesting . . . Wiccans as a rule do not burn ex-witches at the stake, while the local Christian population in my village still holds my atheism (I was never a Christian) as bizarre - You have to believe in something, they say. They would rather I were still a Wiccan than an atheist . . . the latter is too uncomfortable for them.

Thanks Sayed... :)

Hey Sayed.  It is truly unfortunate that removing yourself from a belief system is cause for others to kill you.  I don't have that problem -- yet.  Thanks, new friend!

Not an activist nontheist yet, but I'm working on it.
