AAI Annual Report 2025
This year marks 34 years of Atheist Alliance International—a volunteer-led organization that has worked steadily and with purpose since the beginning. Its mission has always been clear: supporting secular values, defending human rights, and strengthening atheist communities around the world.
Reaching 34 years matters. It reflects the dedication of volunteers, supporters, and partners who believe in freedom of thought—who believe no one should be punished for what they do or do not believe.

Wife of Mubarak Bala
I really want to thank AAI for their continuous help after my husband’s (Mubarak Bala) disappearance since 28th April, 2020. AAI has been helping me both financially and emotionally because Mubarak was taken away when our son was 6 weeks old.
Saudi Arabian ex-Muslim
AAI came to my aid from the very moment I have contacted them, emotionally, financially, and finally to safety. They did help me survive and supported me emotionally when I had no one to lean on! I will forever be thankful for them and will never forget what they did for me
Atheist Support Network
Do you have the freedom to believe or not believe in a religion? In many countries, nonbelievers do not have this freedom, and in thirteen countries, nonbelievers face arrest or a death sentence!
Atheist Alliance International has been working to help atheists and ex-Muslims for years but we significantly ramped up our efforts in 2019 by developing the Atheist Support Network (ASN).

Atheism is a Ground for Asylum
In a very important decision by a Greek Court, atheism has been recognized as a legitimate ground for claiming asylum! This is the first time a Greek court has made this determination, and we believe, a first anywhere in the world. Atheism is now recognised as a ground for the vulnerability of a person in a fundamentalist religious state.
It can now be argued, in Europe at least, that atheists are at special risk in some Islamic countries and, consequently, need to be protected.
