The government over there is so backwards on this issue. My mother was born in Indonesia - even though she's an atheist, she has to claim that she has a religion whenever she goes over there to see her cousins.

That is the dumbest thing ever. It should be a right to not believe in religion. Religion is ****ed up anyways

Atheism is "banned" if you're residing in Indonesia.
If you're an atheist and you want to visit, they won't deny you entry to the country.

If I believe that God doesn't exist as much as you believe that he does, doesn't that make me religious?

Even if that's true, still probably better to fake it.

That is a huge load of shit. But then again, when you have blind zealots in the seat of power, what more can you expect? I feel sorry for this Alexander fellow.

Wow... 5 years in prison for a Facebook comment? Do religious people think this is justice and will have them saved? Absurd.

Would you be safe if you declare yourself agnostic? It's pretty difficult to be purely atheist anyways (if that is possible).

This is so old fashioned. Why are we still trying to curve people in the wrong direction?
