I'm fairly new to this site but I already feel as though i can safely share my thoughts and feelings.I belong to a somewhat religious family (mostly my mother) from Pakistan.From the age of 12 I knew that religion would never end up being a big part of my life, I never expected to become and atheist though.In this country religion is a essential part of everyday life.I have to pray 5 times a day and fast.This tortures me.Not being able to live by my real values and beliefs is nothing short of seriously damaging.I know that for as long as I live in this country I can never really be who I am.There are laws against apostasy which prevents me and probably many others from freedom of thought and speech.I'm 14 now and it will be a few years before I can actually express my beliefs, hopefully somewhere they will be accepted.Meanwhile I hope I can meet others atheist s here who can help and give me some advice and suport
