OUR VISION

Kurdish Atheists envisions a world in which public policy is made using the best evidence we have rather than religious dogma and where religious beliefs are no longer seen as an excuse for bigotry or cause to receive special treatment from the government. We fight for religious equality for all Kurd by protecting what Thomas Jefferson called the “wall of separation” between state and church created by the first Amendment.

We strive to create an environment where atheism and atheists are accepted as members of our nation’s communities and where bigotry against our society is seen as abhorrent and unacceptable. We promote understanding of atheists through education, outreach, and building healthy society and work to end the stigma associated with being an atheist in Kurdish culture.

We aim to build the road to authenticity, openness, and honesty about the things we believe and don’t believe easier for the next person who travels on same path by being outspoken about our atheism and by ensuring that the voices of atheists are always heard in communities throughout the nation, in politics, and in the media.

By working with coalition partners within the atheist movement and across the political spectrum where we can find common points. The Middle East Atheists fight to improve public policy for all and protect real religious freedom by defending the wall of separation between religion and government also promote the acceptance and understanding of atheists.

We are using every tool available, such as the legal system, political advocacy, and outreach campaigns. The Middle East Atheists works to improve the comprehension of atheism in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey and abroad.
