The road taken to atheism varies from person to person, mostly because the road taken is heavily dependent on a number of factors like circumstances, experiences and attitudes. While the reason for each individual to identify himself or herself as an atheist is likely to differ, there remain certain similarities that bring together atheists from across the world – similarities that reflect in the way these people choose to perceive life and express themselves in spite of their diverse backgrounds and varied pursuits.

Atheist Republic is one such conglomeration of individuals who regardless of their differences, agree upon one core idea – that it is perfectly alright to question conventional ideas and practices – whether they are related to complex issues like religion or the comparatively simpler issues like lifestyle choices. The team at Atheist Republic is truly cosmopolitan and secular with members from countries as far apart as the United States and Australia.

Contributions to the website pour in from people who not only live in different countries but also thrive in different cultures. To name a few places, Atheist Republic has freethinkers from Britain, Iran, Philippines, Canada, India, Pakistan, Germany and Ecuador. However, not all of these individuals were fortunate enough to be brought up as freethinkers and many of them actually spent their growing years in households that strongly believe in some religion or other, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism among others. Yet, they chose to break away from conformist religious practices and traditional lifestyle choices so they could ask questions and seek answers instead of blindly believing what had been taught to them.

And as they broke away from all of that, they managed to unite on Atheist Republic, a portal that values meaningful news and information, a portal that encourages each one of you to interrogate and debate.
