Members of the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain (via):
...So, I am relieved and proud to be free of the evil of islam and now consider myself to be a secular humanist. I have not yet revealed this to anyone in my family including my (quite religious) spouse as I am sure that, if I do, the reaction will be emphatically unfavourable. Your site is the first that I have posted my views on; I shall continue to do so on other similar sites. I feel that, for peace and harmony to prevail amongst humankind, it is essential to rid the world of islam. That will be done by continuing to expose it and encourage its deluded followers to leave this system of barbaric ignorance and take more interest in understanding the beauties of scientific discovery which continue to enlighten humanity and broaden its horizons. I applaud your efforts at CEMB and would like to join and support you in any way I can.
Or:
...Lastly, I discovered the beauties of Science That really opened my mind to new possibilities. There was just so much wonder in the world that Islam seemed too petty and small. Why would Allah who creates the Universe worry about little things us humans do? Surely he has better things to do, and don't tell me he watches over us because he cares for us and loves us. Have you read the Quran? If anything, Allah hates us considering the only ability he has shown in the Quran is the ability to find any excuse to torture you and bring you pain. Islam seemed to diminish the beauty of the Universe by teaching that you are born into a pointless test which is rigged to make you fail. Allah apparently created us, just to see if we'll worship him and find out which of the hundreds of religions was the real one. That began to seem if not absolutely pointless, then to be honest, rather stupid. What kind of a test is it in which most people only pass just because they were born into the winning team? If life is a test, it seems the most unfair test imaginable. If that is the meaning of life, to pass a pointless quiz, I would rather live a meaningless life.
Plenty more where they came from.
Amen to that.
