Atheistic refugees are a particular group of people looking for shelter. Most of them are very active, politically thinking people who oppose the dogmatic ideology of the dominant religion of their home countries. Since there are supporters of fundamental interpretations of religions worldwide, they are never really safe from persecution – even here, in Germany.

We offer these refugees appropriate care, as many people who have also fled from the religious constraints of their home countries work with us.

We give these people a voice, who stand up for the values of freedom and self-determination in their lives. Their problems must be perceived publicly. Furthermore we insist that atheism and criticism of religion pass consequently as grounds for asylum.
