Having grown up in a Muslim family religion was obviously the norm but I had never felt the spiritual or emotional connection that seemed to go hand in hand with belief. Losing my faith was a progression that I knew was happening but chose to ignore, as I felt like an outsider surrounded by Muslims.
As I\'ve come to admit that I\'m a atheist (agnostic on some day) I have found the peace that may be similar to those who have found god. It has not only liberated me and allowed me spI ritual freedom it does not conflict with my morals and grounded belief such as feminism, other religions, the afterlife etc.
