    Same. As an atheist, I couldn't live anywhere where religion was the highest power. But it's not just Turkey - there was the very recent case of the Pakistani governor who was shot for disagreeing with the "blasphemy laws." My opinion? There's nothing wrong with religion, but when religious organizations basically are the government, that is really not good.

    Well what can you expect from a country that doesn't even have proper freedom of speech? Every year, going to Turkey gets more and more unpleasant.
