Mothership: Despite rising numbers of atheistic S’poreans, this ex-Muslim remains closeted

Mothership.SG published an article about the difficult closeted life of an ex-Muslim (Rahim) in Singapore.

The article noted that while there are more Singaporeans with no religion than there are Hindus (five per cent), Taoists (10 per cent) and Muslims (14 per cent), some atheists, including Rahim, remain closeted.

Mothership.SG mentioned that there are more non-religious communities in Singapore now, including the Humanist Society Singapore and the Council of Ex-Muslims Singapore (CEMS), that exist to raise awareness and serve as a support system for such people.

We wrote this note in appreciation to Mothership:
