What made you leave Islam?

It’s been almost a year since I became an undercover atheist. I remember I was in 9th grade, 15 years old carelessly scrolling through TikTok until I came upon a video of Alex o Conner debating religious people. His claim was “ suffering makes god existence unlikely” after I saw how he demolished everyone in that debate, it made me question my faith. until ultimately I accepted the fact I lost my love for Islam.

Fortunately, I didn’t experience any trauma or severe pain that made me want to leave Islam, which makes me curious on how others realized Islam was untrue?
And what makes u so confident?

Thinking of ending my life

Hi I’m 16 female and I have been thinking of killing my self because my life genuinely sucks

Here are my reasons:

  1. I am an atheist in a Muslim household, I grew up very religious. Both my parents believe and praises god. My grandma is an Islamic author and my brother is a hafiz(memorized the entire Quran). I even went to an Islamic school from prek - 9th grade,however in 10th grade(now) I went to a hifz school( a school that studies the Quran) I discovered that I didn’t believe in. God towards the end of 9th grade and on that day, I realized I was doomed. Because my entire family cosins friends everyone is Muslim. I couldn’t tell a single soul about my faith. If I did tell my family members they would prob abandon me.
    ,

faking being Muslim is also very draining, I have to wear a hijab, memorized Quran, pretend to pray, not pluck my eyebrows, can’t draw eyes etc. it’s really difficult to live a lifestyle you don’t believe in.

In conclusion, due to the stress and unhappiness being and under cover atheist causes me, I want to km$.

  1. my second reason is my mommy issues. My mom hates me, she always yells at me saying I don’t do my work(even tho I do) saying really crude stuff and being mean for no reasons, for example I am a really quite and shy. When I stay quiet she complains saying “ my daughter can’t even talk” “I thought you’d talking since your older, but I lost hope”

Maybe I’m being sensitive but when she says stuff like that it really hurts my feelings

  1. Finally my last reason is because I am an inconvenience to everyone’s lives. Even though my mom hates me, I can’t blame her. She sacrificed a lot to give the best life to me and I can’t pay her back.

I can’t help her with cooking since I can’t cook, I have bad grades, memorizing the Quran is hard, I am lazy, untalented, and insecure. Despite my mom disliking me she’s done a lot, and I have done nothing, making me an inconvenience.

Not only this, today I accidentally woke up late and my mom started to yell at my dad, saying “ she is stupid and lazy and she got it from u” I felt bad for my dad getting yelled at because of me. I thought maybe if I didn’t exist, that wouldn’t have happen.

I cause problems to my brother as well. But I will stop rambling.

I’m saying all this because I want advice and want to hear your opinions. Even though I didn’t experience a lot of pain like most people who committed suicide, I still want to know if my reasons are valid.

Also I feel like I might not 🔪 my self because I can’t think of a painless way to die. (Other than old age obv)
