Well, I was kinda bored and mostly I have seen users from first world countries so I wonder let there be a QnA session so that other people can get an idea how atheism works in 3rd world country. I am not that much strong atheist now as I have become atheist very recently like last year so I still feel the urge to find God and to pray.

What’s it like living in the US?
I am not in the US.
I know, I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help calling the US a third world country. Stay safe out there. Okay, that’s my question, do you feel safe enough to openly talk about your lack of religion?
Offline, not as much. There are only a few people whom I can trust and talk openly. We use double meaning words and not so obvious wordings that can make us bypass the radar of public. I act like a person who is sad from God like a sad believer. Online though, I feel pretty brave but I don’t reveal my crucial information like from which city I am, how do I look like, and etc. Thanks to anonymous platforms like this and Discord.
please don’t think discord provides you any security or anonymity. they have your info and will give it to authorities when asked and will sell it for profit
yeah but our country’s cybersecurity is not that much advanced like they do crackdowns on Facebook and Instagram. Discord is still not so common.
it’s fine as long as you don’t attract attention. but if, for instance, something you say goes viral, and is against the image the government wants to promote, then you are absolutely not safe on discord. your data will be handed over asap.
you’re safe on signal and matrix. i think you’re safe on lemmy but I don’t know for sure. would be cautious about about most other platforms.
if for instance, I was an atheist in Saudi, I definitely wouldn’t be saying it on discord
Yeah, it can be concerning.
What is the best fast food where you live?
I personally like to eat rolls (it is kinda like wrap if you are in US), BBQ (we have bunch of kebabs in our BBQ and they taste very good).
Is it accepted and tolerated to be an atheist in your country? And do some atheist “communities” exist?
Nah, we can be mob-lynched or kidnapped out of our places due to “blasphemy” taken seriously and it all exists online mostly. We have to be very careful and most of us remained closeted atheists at least when we are living in that country.
Do you still want to find some sort of spirituality or are you done with any sort of religion?
I am into spirituality. I do daily meditation. Although I have to practice my parent’s religion cuz I live with them and dependent on them, I don’t believe that or any of the religions like Christianity, Hinduism, and etc.
