Why do a vast majority of Atheists come from a white Christian background? Why are there so few atheists who used to be Muslim or any other religion?

Because Christians don't murder apostates

I am an atheist from a Muslim background.

I wish i wasn't though. Islam was a comforting religion.

Muslims are legally allowed to kill you if you become an atheist (according to the Qur'an)

I get a big rebellion vibe off of it.

It's pretty easy to grow up in the US and feel suffocated or abused by the demand to conform to the religion you'd been born in to.

I would doubt this, do you have any numbers on this?
I know manny black and asian fedora atheists, not much ex-muslims tho indeed.

I wonder how many layers of CGI were used to make Ricky not be fat.

Try Christianity. It's comforting.

Because white Christian countries have freedom of expression. If you're not constantly flogged with religious dogma, it's easy to not believe in any of it

Holy Christ, that's cringy.

Most atheists come from good free countries, and practically all good countries are christian.

Islam bases on fear - you leave religion - free stones to the face for ya

Also, modern cultual approach. Mainstream media (I know I sound like PJW) promote leaving christianity - "backward and primitive" religion, at the same time defending Islam from criticism in the name of political correctness

1. Christians do not kill apostates.

2. Up until recently to become an atheist meant to challenge your own preconceptions and upbringing.

3. The arguments for atheism come from philosophy, natural sciences and history. All fields that require an education.

4. Do you think muslim societys have a culture of honest, fact based scientific discourse?

>when the fpbp gets ignored because it blows OP's thread away like a virginia tech student.

because the west had something called the "enlightenment". the challenging of all authorities and the questioning of religion.
the muslim east never had such a historical change. hence their religious fanatism and amount of autocracies and dictators.

Because only whites smart enough to realize that monotheism is a sham.

Its actually a religious truth. There is something called a "reprobate," according to scripture; it means "reject," and its described intimately in Romans 1. When somebody has knowledge of the truth, but continuously rejects, rejects, rejects, rejects, eventually God rejects them too. God GIVES THEM UP, and GIVES THEM OVER, to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; he takes away his spirit from them, and they're basically just animals (brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed).

Just like the Jews, who rejected God. The people of other religions who reject their faith are still searching for a spiritual answer, but the people who are given the truth and keep rejecting it, they're hopeless.

Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

too much heresy, hard to keep up, so they get burnt out and drop the religion all together

Becoming an atheist doesn't make you a reprobate though. And most people have never heard a clear presentation of the gospel anyways.

Because atheists are sheltered children. Christians are good people and therefore try to protect their children from harm. However, this makes the children weak and stupid.

Right, being an atheist doesn't automatically mean somebody is a reprobate. But typically, take Asian atheists, they are somewhat open to hearing the gospel, even if its strange to them at first. A true reprobate hates the very idea of God

I will say this: western atheists are at higher risk of becoming reprobate. IDK about Sweden, but in America there is at least one gospel-preaching church in every town and city

I would say in Sweden, there is not a single church like that in the whole country. I even asked an american pastor who heads up a prominent IFB church, he helps people find good churches all over the world, they literally said no good church exists in Sweden.

because they get molested by some priest at 10 years old and then get really angry at their religion in general

fpbp

Came here to say the same obvious thing, but it was already a first post, of course

I believe you. Its like that in a lot of the world. My favorite pastor is Steven Anderson, he does a lot of great work, but he's been banned from numerous countries including the UK, Australia, and South Africa. I think Canada might have banned him too. They would probably arrest him in Sweden

Clear presentation of the gospel:

your satanic catholic church has killed many apostates over the ages

They fell for the liberal atheist meme

I wonder if Christians realize that literally everyone else is laughing at them every time they call someone else stupid for their religious beliefs.

Yes, hundreds of years ago when atheists were a rarity.

They don't do it now, hence rebellious teens don't need to be scared of losing their life.

It was actually his church I asked. Anyways, there was a pastor in sweden who was arrested because of his anti-gay speech but they actually let him go, saying it was religious speech protected by the constitution. So in sweden saying faggots are disgusting and should die is illegal, but saying the same thing as a christian citing the bible is legal. top kek

because leaving your religion in islam is the equivalent of a death sentence

Because declaring that you are an ex muslim gets you killed and even if you do it in a western country it at the very least gets you disowned.

There are a lot of "muslims" around that operate as atheists. They only fast Ramadan for the sake of keeping with appearances.

Because most Christian majority countries are much smarter.
