My Travel Story

by: Sikandar Shahbaz Start Date: Jul 17, 2025 - End Date: Nov 16, 2025
I am a poor individual from Pakistan who became an atheist after years of independent reading, reflection, and critical thinking. Unfortunately, Pakistan is a deeply ideological society where religious disbelief is not only socially unacceptable but also life-threatening.
 
Due to my lack of belief, I face extreme hostility, rejection, and threats from my community and even close relatives. In such an environment, being an atheist is considered worse than being a criminal. There are no legal protections for people like me — in fact, expressing my views could lead to imprisonment, mob violence, or even death.
 
I have kept my beliefs hidden for as long as possible, but it's getting harder to live with this constant fear. I have no financial means or safe support network. I am writing this not just in hope of help, but also as a cry for safety, dignity, and the right to live without fear for simply thinking differently.
 
If you cannot offer financial support, even sharing my story or helping me find safer options would mean a lot.
