Ten years after the release of *The Atheist Muslim: A Journey from Religion to Reason*, author Ali A. Rizvi reflects on how the conversation around faith, identity, and free thought has evolved in a decade marked by social upheaval, political polarization, and rapid technological change. In this talk, Ali revisits the core themes of his book—reason, compassion, and critical thinking—through the lens of today’s world, where artificial intelligence, toxic online discourse, and shifting cultural tides are reshaping how we think about belief, identity, and belonging.
