When Leaving Faith Changes Everything

Leaving a religious environment can dismantle everything you once relied on — beliefs, identity, and community. The rules that once shaped your life no longer fit, and in their place come uncertainty, guilt, shame, and fear.

Many ExMuslims carry this weight quietly, unsure where it’s safe to speak. These experiences aren’t weakness — they’re the natural response to what you’ve lived through. You deserve care, understanding, and the space to heal at your own pace.

Healing beyond borders

How We Support ExMuslims

At Faithless Hijabi, we connect ExMuslims with therapists who understand the deep impact of religious trauma — including abuse, fear, and isolation. With sessions available in English and Arabic, we make it possible to access care that feels safe and understood.

All therapy sessions are confidential and led by therapists experienced in supporting ExMuslims through religious trauma. Whether someone is living in secrecy, rebuilding life in exile, or surviving in silence, we offer therapy beyond borders. More than 60% of those we’ve supported live in places where seeking mental health care that acknowledges religious trauma as an ExMuslim is unsafe.

Mental Health Program

Our Mental Health Program provides confidential, trauma-informed therapy for ExMuslims navigating religious trauma, fear, and isolation. We work with therapists who understand the realities of leaving faith and prioritise safety, dignity, and care at every step.

Faithless Hijabi is not able to provide direct support with relocation, asylum, or refugee processes. However, we’ve compiled a list of trusted organisations offering emergency assistance, safety support, relocation help, and financial aid for those in immediate danger.

Stay Engaged

Storytelling is central to Faithless Hijabi’s work. Through blogs and advocacy writing, we amplify ExMuslim voices often silenced by fear — sharing stories that might otherwise never be told and reflecting the overlapping experiences of religious trauma and isolation.

"For the first time, I felt safe talking about both my identity and my lack of faith. Therapy helped me release years of shame and fear and start finding peace with myself."
ExMuslim from Egypt
“After fleeing my country, the trauma didn’t disappear. This support helped me cope with the fear, grief, and guilt — and reminded me I wasn’t alone anymore.”
ExMuslim Refugee
“After leaving Islam, I felt completely alone and unable to trust anyone. This support helped me rebuild a sense of safety and slowly open up again.”

Your Support Makes Healing Possible

ExMuslims around the world face trauma, isolation, and real danger simply for leaving their faith. Many have no access to safe, culturally aware mental health care.

Your donation helps fund therapy for individuals in high-risk and restrictive environments — giving them access to care, safety, and the chance to heal.

When those most silenced receive support, healing doesn’t stop with them. It ripples outward.

Mama, Don’t Preach

I always felt envious of the bond my female peers had with their mothers. They were able to be open with their moms, were understood and emotionally supported. My friends
