I'm a heathen when it comes to marriage.

I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place.

I'm trying to champion the naturalist's worldview and show it's not as heathen as most religious people would make it out to be.

Heathens are unredeemed outcasts from heaven who roam the planet without hope of surviving the deaths of their bodies. They may have values, but they are not secured by any divine source. Yet we embrace this because we think it represents the truth.

When explorers first encountered my people, they called us heathens, sun worshippers. They didn't understand that the sun is a relative and illuminates our path on this earth.

My native land is a slave of heathenism, men's god is their belly, and they live only for the present. The richer a man, the holier.

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I'm referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.

My identity comprises of more than just my faith. I am a proud Muslim, but I am also a liberal, a Briton, a Pakistani, a Londoner, a father, a product of the globalised world who speaks English, Arabic and Urdu.

I am basically a religious man.
