#KSA - No longer being able to tolerate the made-up rules and principles of their so-called religion, people, especially young people, turn from the religion altogether and surrender themselves to #atheism. In other words, they leap out of the frying pan into the fire. That is what makes bigotry such a great peril for Islamic communities. ---- “I believe people started being fed up with how religion is really controlling their life and how only one interpretation of religion should be followed,” said activist Fahad AlFahad. “The mosques are full but society is losing its values. It’s more like a mechanical practice, like going church, you have to go on Sunday,” said a former employee of state media. “We no longer understand our religion, not because we don’t want to. But because our vision of it, our understanding of it, has been polluted by the monarchy…[and]…by the official religious establishment that only measures religion by what the monarchy wants and what pleases the monarchy.” salon/2014/06/12/atheism_explodes_in_saudi_arabia_where_just_talking_about_atheism_is_illegal_partner/?source=newsletter
