August 22 is Apostasy Day — a day to defend, honor and celebrate our right to courageously leave religion.

THIS YEAR, EX-MUSLIMS INTERNATIONAL IS INVITING YOU AND OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY TO: END APOSTOPHOBIA. CELEBRATE APOSTASY!

We want a world where Apostophobia is condemned with the same clarity and conviction as racism, homophobia, and misogyny, and apostasy and blasphemy laws are a thing of the past.

On Apostasy Day, August 22, 2025, Ex-Muslims International calls on apostates and allies around the world to:

• Join our Apostasy Day livestream on YouTube with Uniting the Cults (link TBD)
• Visit, share and utilize Apostophobia.com
• Share this Apostasy Day statement from Ex-Muslims International 
• Discuss Apostophobia in your communities and on your platforms
• Call for an end to Apostophobia, apostasy laws, blasphemy laws, and religious punishments
• Celebrate the freedom and joy of leaving religion
• Stand with those who are persecuted for questioning, doubting, or walking away
• Share and amplify apostate stories and apostasy experiences
• Name the emotional and psychological abuse faced by apostates, including shunning, forced secrecy, isolation, and coercion disguised as “family honour” or “religious love”
• Urge your lawmakers to implement, defend and uphold secularism, freedom of/from religion, freedom of speech, and freedom expression
• Use hashtags: #EndApostophobia #CelebrateApostasy #ApostasyDay2025 #ApostasyDay.
