    born in islamic nation (turkey), family didn’t really do anything to teach religion (except trying to teach Arabic), I got more and more estranged from islam as I did my own independent research using online sources of the Qur’an

    I don’t think I can be considered a Muslim anymore, I don’t follow what is written down as a must, this actually makes me eligible to hell, and it is all so ridiculous for me now.

    I’ve talked with a lot of people, self proclaimed Muslims but their beliefs are far more deist than anything else, but they still call themselves Muslims but with their own additional beliefs.

    Another note, I haven’t read hadiths, only the Qur’an. The Qur’an is very short and anyone here could read it, it’s the absolute words of god so it is essential to follow if you’re a Muslim.
