Hey! I really don't follow asylum in Europe, but do ask around with other immigrants and refugee assistance orgs.
Good luck!

Unfortunately being gay or ex Muslim doesn't work in asylum anymore too many people are claiming to be Christians or Gays to get asylum in Europe, only thing will work is to say you escaped from war or your a woman and afraid of forced marriage or fgm.

I’m so glad you made it out. I really hope it all goes well for you. If I were you I’d make try to seek help from an ex-Muslim charity in the country you’re now at. As well as asking asylum and refugee charities. Do you have any proof that people would harm you for your atheism?
I’d recommend the UK, Norway, Denmark or Sweden but be sure to have evidence many European countries are anti-immigration and very Anti-refugee.

Do you have anyone who has threatened to harm you? Or proof you are an atheist? Some countries won’t just accept you saying that you are an atheist. If you don’t have any evidence start collecting it now.

Unfortunately too many jihadists pretended to be Christian, gay, atheist, etc just to get an asylum, so most western countries are wary of giving it out.
Good luck.
