Atheist Iran
Iran is often painted as a deeply religious nation, but history tells another story. We are the heirs of Razi, who challenged prophecy. We are the readers of Khayyam, who questioned the divine order. Skepticism, Zandaqa, and free thought have always bubbled beneath the surface, despite brutal suppression.
Today, we are witnessing a renaissance of this ancient skepticism. The 'Silent Revolution' is not new; it is the re-emergence of a suppressed current in Iranian thought. We are merely reclaiming our heritage of reason.
