i live in a muslim community, my family is muslim though not religious, im an atheist,i don't pray or practice religion as my family doesn't force me but they are still not so open minded as to accept the idea of my atheism..so i just kept it to myself.
now i will move to live and study in a european country, which is like a huge opportunity for me to be the person i truly am (as an open minded free spirit atheist) but the problem is..that i will leave in this octobre which happens to be Ramadan in the islamic calender (the month muslims fast in from sunrise to sunset) i've never ever fasted in my whole life or been a good muslim and i wasnt planning on fasting, until one of the muslim friends from my nationality called me yesterday to gather with other students and decide where to eat at sunset .
it seems that she wants us to fast and eat together and maybe even pray together.. and i dont want to pretend..something that im not anymore and if i don't go to eat with them,
