Any atheist/antithesis people from muslim families in myanmar?

Anti-theist** (spelling error in the title)
I was born in a strict religious muslim family, and when i was about 13 i just decided that none of it makes any sense to me and completely lost my faith. I only identified myself as an atheist to my friends, and colleagues because obviously my family would disown me if they knew lol. As i grew older, and got more exposed to different things in life and met new people, i realized how deprived of life i was under the name of religion simply because i was a girl. From that point on i’ve leaned more towards anti-theism. Anyways, most of my friends are agnostics/atheists as well but they’re usually from non religious backgrounds to begin with so they don’t really have the same experience as i do. I’ve never come across an ex-muslim turned atheist, esp a woman so i’m wondering if there’s anyone who’s going through the same thing as me. Unfortunately, I’m still stuck and suffering in that household constantly having to pretend i’m still a muslim so I wonder how y’all cope and avoid arguments on a daily basis?

Burmese translated books

I am trying to read more in burmese as it’s not my strongest suit. I saw translations of Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky in burmese at the mall today. Are they any good? Do you recommend them over the english translation? I have no problem with reading Dostoevsky in english, but Nietzsche was pretty hard for me so i’m thinking if i should give it a go in my native language(burmese).
