I'm really curious and afraid from my parents' reaction I've been a non-religion for more than 3 years i could handle everything and do my best to live as a non-religion with Muslim family in Islamic country but it gets harder each year especially as a female

Number one - Stay safe! Do whatever you have to do to stay safe!
Number two - once you’re of age, leave that country as soon as you safely can.

What Cyber said. Stay safe. Lay low and keep everybody fooled until you are able to get out on your own. I'm afraid I do not know very much about asylum laws, but if at all possible you should make it to a non-Islamic country and ask for protection as soon as you are able. Until then, do not hint at your true feelings if it can be avoided. Wish I had something better to offer, but at least know you have friends here if you ever need to vent or just hang out and shoot the breeze with a few like-minded folks. Take care, Alice.
I've been personally acquainted with two Arab women from Saudi Arabia ... both of them told me that they had never believed in Islam despite having been born into religious families. One of them had had an argument with her husband and told him that she wasn't a "believer" ... he divorced her immediately. Her husband was a wealthy man ... but she said she didn't regret blurting out her true feelings about Islam. She was in Britain when she parted from him and was able to "make a life for herself". There are many places in the UK where ex-Muslim women are welcome ... places where there are very few religious Muslims (most of whom are in the cities and large towns). My closest female friend is an Egyptian ex-Muslim ... she never has any problems in the small town we live in. She talks openly about her background and is admired for her clarity of mind.
It can not be emphasized enough: @Cyber: "Stay Safe." Not sure what country you are in. Some countries are a bit more modern than others and some are just down right brutal. Regardless of the country, a major city, especially one with an international flavor, is likely to be more accepting of shades of apostasy than a rural area. On a serious note "Education kills religion." If you have the ability and skills to stay in school and do well, your future can be a whole lot better. Not everyone has those skills or opportunities. There is something to be said for getting out of the situation when you can. It could mean trying to get to another country, or just getting a job and moving on with your life. It's a big world full of small minded people. Try to avoid them and make friends with a similar attitude to your own.
