{"id":17,"name":"No Such Thing As Blasphemy","url":"","description":"I was raised in the Islamic world. By accident of history, the plague that is entanglement of religion and government affects most Muslim majority nations a lot worse the many Christian majority (or post-Christian majority) nations. Hence, I am quite familiar with this plague. I started doubting the faith I was raised in during my teen years. After becoming familiar with the works of enlightenment philosophers, I identified myself as a deist. But it was not until a long time later, after I learned about evolutionary science, that I came to identify myself as an atheist. And only then, I came to know the religious right in the US. No need to say, that made me much more passionate about what I believe in and what I stand for. <a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/about\/\"><B>Read more...<\/a>","link":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/author\/nocrossnocrescent\/","slug":"nocrossnocrescent","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7ffc0a257f470be753ea6097987bf547f64038dc72dd8b022be56e211f8674eb?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7ffc0a257f470be753ea6097987bf547f64038dc72dd8b022be56e211f8674eb?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7ffc0a257f470be753ea6097987bf547f64038dc72dd8b022be56e211f8674eb?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
