Sarah Haider was born in 1991 in Karachi, Pakistan. Her family, which was a practicing Shia Muslim family, moved to the USA when she was seven years old. Haider was a devout Muslim as a child, but as she became older her faith started to decline. It was in high school she started came across religious criticism and atheism for the first time. In order to disprove her atheist friends’ claims about Islam, she started to study the Quran more carefully. This however, only increased her doubt in the religion and at the age of 16 she became an atheist. In 2013, Haider co-founded Ex-Muslims of North America ( [ Ссылка ] ) together with Muhammad Syed. Their non-profit organization advocates for acceptance of religious dissent, promoting secular values, and aiming to reduce discrimination faced by those who leave Islam.
