I never really believed despite growing up in a muslim household because my family was pretty lax on religious stuff in early childhood. I just never voiced my opinion because I could somehow tell it would cause problems. I guess indoctrination never took hold because of this.

It got worse later but I didn’t start looking for atheist and exmuslim communities until 17(my father was also very very strict on us using technology). That’s about when I started considering myself an atheist though I had doubts for as long as I can remember.

A reason why I never considered trying to believe in any religion is because they never seem to have any proof. And religion like islam makes it obvious that someone(muhammad in this case) or some group made everything up (or borrowed parts from other religions) for their own benefits.

I guess you could say I’m not really an exmuslim because I never really truly considered myself a muslim at any point despite my background but it’s one of the closer things I can relate to.

Since you asked my reason for leaving, would you be willing to share why you left or still believe?
