I\'ve always had doubts about Islam and religion as a whole. For a long time didn\'t say anything to anyone because I felt would be ridiculed and people would say horrible things about me. I grew up in a strict Muslim household with my mother and sisters. My mother is very religious, she would send us to mosque for most of the week. As I grew up I started to open up my mind and discovered people Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Those people have had huge impact on me and views towards religion. Many things have contributed in me leaving Islam like treatment of women, lack of evidence for Allah and all other gods and the errors and contradictions in the Quran. I have known about the CEMB for a long time, but I didn\'t have urge to join and I really just wanted to keep my secret to myself. I respect and admire what the CEMB are doing and are trying to do.
