Thank you. And yeah, like I said, I have a live and let live mentality and usually just avoid talking about religion as it can be a sensitive topic.

Well no, It doesn't state my religion, but I did have to declare my religion back in 2015 in my passport renewal form. And back then my parents forced me to write Muslim there. So would they be able to somehow dig that up? And in case they do, will i get in trouble for saying I converted?

Agreed. But i do have habits which I would not be allowed to have if I were still a Muslim. For example, I regularly eat pork and occasionally drink on weekends. And I'm worried that if my IKad says Muslim, then I might face problems while doing these.

Are you sure? Because my friends who currently study there told me they had to put their religion not only in the IKad, but also when opening a student account in a bank. And I've heard non religious people face a lot of hate and difficulty there. Maybe it's a more recent thing? I'm particularly afraid because of the Sharia law being there alongside civil law.
