I\'m not a Muslim...or \"ex - Muslim\". In fact I wasn\'t raised religious at all. My parents didn\'t promote atheism nor did they promote any religion to me. They just didn\'t mention religion... it wasn\'t encouraged or discouraged. When I became old enough to understand history, economics, society, psychology and of course science I simply made my own mind up as to how these aspects of humanity have and still continue to play a fundamental part in organised religion and the system of power over the masses for thousands of years.

I decided to search Apostates on the Internet and found this site. And it intrigued me...So here I am. I\'d like to learn more about the experiences of people who have left an organised religion; especially one, that to me at least, seems quite totalitarian (no offence meant to anyone). I\'d also like to know about how you \"ex - Muslims\", with your newly found enlightened minds, see the world and your futures within it. Also about how you view people like me... someone who some of you might have thought were in league with the \"Dajjal\".
