Atheist Republic is saddened to learn of the recent passing of two important leaders within the international Atheist Republic community; Silvia Gerger and Termeh Nashvan. In reaction to the heart-wrenching news, Atheist Republic’s President and CEO, Susanna McIntyre, stated, “The loss of both Silvia and Termeh has hit our community hard. These two women were outspoken and incredible leaders in our community. The energy and passion that they committed to the cause of protecting atheists, as well as the LGBT community, seemed endless.

Many migrants who have recently converted to Christianity say they fear retaliation from Muslims in Europe.

By passing a law to oversee how Islam is administered, Austria singled out its Muslim minority for treatment that doesn’t apply to any other religion.
