“I am aged 43 years. I was married to Mugisha Mark who was a Christian preacher but called himself a ‘prophet’. We had four children, two girls and a boy. Our marriage was fine and all of us were happy. The children went to school.
Mark became a different person two years ago. After fasting on water and fruit, one night he told me he saw Jesus and God spoke to him. He claimed Jesus touched him and gave him power to heal the sick and make the blind see again and the lame to walk. He proclaimed this ‘prophecy’ in the church and everyone was touched. He constituted a small team of men and women he would work with.
In the subsequent prayer sessions, I was shocked to see some people be healed, especially lame people walk; however, I soon realized these were paid to act. I told my husband what he was doing was wrong. This caused disagreement. He told me he was providing the family needs and I ought not complain.
I came to the conclusion that the story of god is a hoax. I told him this to his face and he didn’t say anything, but that day in the evening he came home with a lady whom he introduced to me as his wife. On Sunday, he introduced the lady in church as his wife and informed them due to my infidelity, he had opted to marry a new wife who was willing to take care of the children and him.
Within a week, no person in our community wanted to be near me. People whispered negative things about me. I became a laughing stoke in the community. I couldn’t see my children. One day a friend encouraged me to go to ShelterMi SafeHouse where, after counseling, I became a humanist.”

$100 - To Jinnah Maachu - ex-Muslim in hiding for posting criticisms on Facebook
info below is from a 2019 interview
Question: How did you become an atheist?
Answer: Many things led me here:
1) My mother was a pious Muslim, but from my childhood, I witnessed how she was fooled by the faith and how she was financially exploited regularly.
2) When I was a small boy, I knew two good friends - one was Hindu, the other one Muslim. One day I saw them fighting each other vigorously, the reason was religion. The elders separated them; one sat on the right and the other on the left. They were quiet for a while and then one said to the other “Buddy, let’s go, this is why Periyar (E. V. Ramasamy) said there is no God.” He put his arm around his friend’s shoulder and they walked away together. This incident made me read a lot about Periyar, I got to know about his campaigns and struggles.
3) A few years later, in 1998, bomb blasts and religious riots happened in my city, Coimbatore, between Muslims and Hindus. It made me distressed. I felt it was disgusting to kill each other for religion.
4) I decided to leave religion, but I didn’t talk about it with anyone, I just kept it inside me till 2002. Then I wrote my ideas and views in Facebook. I wrote that I wanted not only to leave religion, I want to rescue people from religion. My Facebook posts paved way for me to get to know a few ex-Muslims. They became my friends.
Q: What is your goal?
A: My goal is to rescue people from the religion.

I was married to a boda-boda rider by the names of James Otto from northern Uganda. We meet in church. Our pastor introduced me to James and said that god had given him a vision that James was to be my chosen husband. The church organized and the pastor celebrated our wedding. Being an orphan, I didn’t have many people from my side attend the wedding ceremony. I went to stay with him in his small room hoping that in future we could move to a bigger and more spacious house.
James loved me very much till I told him that I was pregnant. He stopped coming back home as usual and started drinking alcohol. To keep with him at the same level, I also started drinking the local brew known as waragi. I didn’t care if he came back home or not.
One day in July this year, James brought a younger girl to our home. They were both drunk, and I was equally drunk. When I asked him who the girl was, he instead slapped and punched me. I picked up a cooking stick and hit him on the head and he became unconscious. I hit the girl with an empty bottle of Johnny walker across the face and then left the house.
I went to stay with a friend who was operating a small clinic. She advised me to go and report the matter at the local police post first thing in the morning. When I reached the police post, I was instead arrested for assault. I was told that a lady reported that I had beaten her outside my house. My friend Christine came to the police post, she told me to be patient not to worry she had a friend who would help me out.
The next day Mama Rose and a gentlemen came to the police post and arranged for me to be released on a police bond. Mama Rose accepted to take me into the shelter for my protection and for the unborn baby. After counseling, I stopped drinking and offered to look after some of the orphans at the center. Currently, I am seeking funding for shelter and upkeep at ShelterMi SafeHouse Uganda.”
