Faith to Faithless is a non-profit organisation in the United Kingdom dedicated to confronting discrimination against atheists and non-religious people, in particular discrimination towards individuals who have left minority religions. It provides support to people leaving religion and helps them to "come out" to friends and family and gives a platform for individuals to speak out publicly and to find mutual support in the wider atheist, secular and humanist communities. Faith to Faithless advocates for individuals and families leaving any religion, and aims to bring discussion and support for ex-religious people into the public domain. Since 2017 Faith to Faithless has been incorporated as a programme within Humanists UK, formerly the British Humanist Association, the national charity supporting non-religious people. Formation Faith to Faithless was founded in 2015 by Imtiaz Shams and Aliyah Saleem. Shams, a Bangladeshi ex-Muslim atheist who grew up in Saudi Arabia, left Islam when he realised that his sense of justice was incompatible with the idea that all other religions must, by Islamic definition, be bad. He has explained that he needed to address the frustration that ex-Muslims and secular Muslims feel as their identity is perceived as indivisible from Muslim religion and the unease society at large has with Muslim apostasy. Saleem, who describes herself as an ex-Muslim atheist, left Islam at the age of 19 and described it as becoming free. By the age of 27, Saleem had worked with Shams and they decided to set up an advocacy group, Faith to Faithless, in order to help increase awareness of the issues around leaving religion, to show people in similar situations that they are not alone, and to provide a community network of support. Faith to Faithless exists to support people who have left any religion, and began by organising a tour of universities in the UK, which they named 'coming out events', to make contact with people leaving or who had left conservative religion and provide mutual support with a platform to discuss individual experiences. The earliest public presentations, at Queen Mary University of London, were launched under the name Interfaithless before becoming Faith to Faithless, and speakers focussed broadly on leaving Islam and apostasy as (Ex) Muslim Voices. Shams wrote that the first event received a great deal of support, including from many Muslims, but also attracted abuse and hate mail and was leafleted by Islamic groups including the Queen Mary University
