“A history of atheism and freethought in Islam is a moral necessity; it gives necessary succor to ex-Muslims, and provides evidence that many in Islamic civilization have shaken off the intellectual shackles of Islam, and, what is more important, atheism can provide a new identity, and show a means of living moral lives without the aid of Islam.”

Sounds like a great book! Very interesting how the influence of Aristotle and the Greeks influenced so many different thinkers down through history, and changed history as a result.

Agreed. I have a friend/former coworker who I suspect would be completely non religious if it were not for her family. A lot of her thinking is not in line with Islamic requirements.
