I'm curious as I try to avoid answering the question 'what is your religion' as I don't have one. Would muslims be offended that I don't believe in any gods?
anonuykult - i just checked in the mirror and i do exist without a religion. i think you should open your mind a little more, maybe read some Charles Darwin.
yes, on forms i put christian as that was what choice my prents made for me when i had no coice.
There is no legal action against atheists, nor would Qataris be offended by you being one, however:
1- In some paper forms, you need to fill in your religion and atheism isnt considered a religion here.
2- Exposing yourself as atheist to Muslims, might encourage some of them to target you for religious discussions (for the sake of converting you to Islam).
This is Qatar not Saudi Arabia. The Qataris are quite tolerant and as long as you are not trying to impose your views on anyone; no one will try and impose their views on you. Also, it is best to avoid discussing religion or politics where ever you are in the world. With these two subjects there is always someone who is offended.
Personally, I don't see a reason to be offended or annoyed. Having a Religion or NO religion is everyone's very personal matter and shouldn't be a reason to be offended or frowned upon .... as long as we co-exist peacefully as Human Beings and avoid direct criticism to anyone's religious practices or values.
Any open-minded and educated individual (Qatari or Non-Qatari / Muslim or Non-Muslim) should not mind it or get offended by it.

yeah, but remember you came into existence not by your choice.
" i think you should open your mind a little more, maybe read some Charles Darwin."
Even charles darwin was baptised in the Anglican church when he had no choice.

No human being can exist without a religion. It is religion which gives the moral foundation for there to be family.
naah, shouldn't be a problem.
Its ur right!! however, the only difficulty u might face are further questions (probably out of curiousity) once u answer u r an atheist.

I thought there are many official forms that require you to fill in 'religion' .
I don't think it will be a good idea to put on 'Atheism' on that dotted line.
I certainly don't go around shouting that I'm an athiest, but on official forms, where it asks for religion I put Christian as that is how I was born.
