Irreligion in Sudan

Sudan is reported by The Washington Post to be among the seven countries where atheism can attract capital punishment, and even among these seven countries, Iran is probably the most dangerous for atheists.[1] [2][3] The true number of atheists in Sudan is unknown due to fear and prejudice suffered by non-Muslims.[4][5]
