- Abstract:
The article looks at secularist and atheist attitudes in Muslim countries, focusing on the Arab region. It cites poll results on the share of people in Arab countries including Saudi Arabia who describe themselves as atheists or non-religious, and says many Islamic laws are routinely broken in practice. It discusses punishments for apostasy in various Arab countries. Comments are presented from Arabs who have publicly identified as atheists including Waleed Al Husseini and Iman Willoughby.
