Ex-Muslim Armin Navabi: An Atheist Republic

Feb 4, 2021 | Armin Navabi is an Iranian ex-Muslim. In 2012, he founded Atheist Republic, an online community that now has hundreds of branches in several countries around the world and enables non-believers to interact with each other in places where criticism of religion is often repressed and criminalized.

His book, "Why There Is No God: Simple Responses to 20 Common Arguments for the Existence of God", was published in 2014.

Navabi is also the co-host, with Ali Rizvi, of the podcast “Secular Jihadists for a Muslim Enlightenment.”

“Atheist Republic’s main goal is mostly for atheists to realize that they're not alone, that there’s a community for them, that they’re not isolated,” he tells “Freethought Matters” host Dan Barker. “And also for atheists to understand that not only shouldn’t they feel like they need to hide or that they’re isolated, but also that they don't have to be apologetic about their views.”

People everywhere are in chains. Why? Because they believe myths, fairy tales, and BS. It is high time that people free themselves from this bullshit. – © Mark Alexander
