It is never easy to leave the faith of your family and/or upbringing. Moving in a direction of atheism or agnosticism is particularly challenging. If you grew up Muslim but decided that God probably does not exist, how did you emerge from the Islamic way of thinking?

I had a friend who was muslim and became atheist. He literally sought political asylum to prevent having to return to his homeland and his family because he would have been killed.
For him, it was the same as everyone who becomes atheist -- development of knowledge, logic, and reason, and the slow recognition of the illogic of religion.
He's been in the USA for six years now and he's doing great, I'm happy to report, though his family disowned him for obvious reasons. Last he heard, there was a price on his head -- payable in full by his own father.
Yeah. GREAT religion, that.

Islam is the religion of God, one is obligated to obey the commandments, God doesn't force to accept or believe in it.
But for theose who leave the God, the punishment will be double.
