According to a new study, in 13 countries around the world, people who are openly atheist or reject the official state religion of Islam face execution under the law.

The study is called “The Freethought Report 2013” and was issued by the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU), a global body uniting atheists, agnostics and other religious skeptics.
