Brutal persecution of late in the name of religion - The question is where exactly atheists fit into the equation.

Is Atheism a “religion” in the eyes of immigration laws, such that atheists can gain asylum—and with it the right to live and work permanently in Europe or U.S?

While not completely out of the question, an asylum seeker who claims fear of persecution in his or her home country due to the fact that the person is an atheist will have a difficult time satisfying the burden of establishing that atheism is a religion and therefore protected by the religion ground of EU/U.S. asylum law. However, atheism is not a religion and it's basically "the lack of belief".

I personally know dozens of atheists who have requested the asylum in fear of the persecution in their homelands but got rejected by IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service) for no reasons. They are simply deporting Atheists to die in their country of origin. 

There are many examples of the mistakes that you can easily find on google. The moments that they arrived at their countries they got arrested or executed by the authorities or extreme religious people. 

Let's save lives by signing this petition. 

Let's be an example to the world by promoting Freedom. 

I'm Savalan Ghodsi, the Atheist blogger and an activist from Iran. I requested asylum from the Netherlands but got rejected by IND. I am going to defend my "freedom of religion" case against IND on 20 of May 2019. 

As it's a public trial anyone can join for the SHOW!
