Nonreligious in India face hostility, danger
From the troubling article:
MUMBAI, India (RNS) Atheist activist H Farook was killed in the South Indian city of Coimbatore last month, the latest in a string of killings of people who reject formal religion.
The 31-year-old Farook abandoned Islam, the religion of his birth, and ran an atheism WhatsApp group with 400 members. Fifteen days before he was slain, he posted a picture of his child on Facebook holding a placard that read, “No God, no God, No God.”
A banned radical group may be behind the killing, according to police.
