An Indian man is fighting for the right to believe in the non-existence of God. But Ravi Kumar's quest for a document granting him legal recognition for his status has got him into trouble with the authorities. The BBC's Geeta Pandey reports from Tohana village in northern India.
With two large tattoos that declare him to be an "atheist" covering his forearms, 33-year-old Ravi Kumar says he บาคาร่าฟรี realised there was no God when he was just six or seven.
"On Diwali every year my father bought a lottery ticket and prayed to the Goddess Lakshmi but he never hit the jackpot. And then สล็à¸à¸•à¸Ÿà¸£à¸µ one day, four boys were beating me up and I prayed to Lord Krishna for help, but he didn't come to my rescue," he says.
Sitting at his two-room home in Tohana, about 250km (155 miles) from the capital, Delhi, he shows me his "most prized possession" - a certificate that says he belongs to "no caste, no religion and no God".
Issued on 29 April on a Haryana 188BET government letterhead, it is signed by a local Tohana official.
But unfortunately for him, the authorities revoked it a week later - they said they had "exceeded their jurisdiction" and asked him to return it.
Ravi Kumar refused and instead filed an appeal in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
In September, the high court dismissed his petition. The judge said that Article 25 of the constitution guaranteed him "the right to claim that he is an atheist" but that there really was no legal requirement for such a certificate.
A college dropout who makes a living by painting houses, Ravi Kumar says he's not giving up - he is preparing to appeal against the high court ruling and has also written to the Indian president seeking his help.
"The high court says there is no need for me to have a certificate, but there is," he insists. "When the government issues religion or caste certificates to people, I too have the right to have a certificate that identifies me as an atheist. I'm also a citizen of this country."
In India, you need a religion certificate only if you change your faith. And caste certificates are given to those who belong to disadvantaged groups and would like to avail of the quota in government jobs or universities.
Ravi Kumar's family does belong to a disadvantaged caste grouping but he's sworn that he will never sign up for any benefits.
The reason he wants his certificate is essentially to make a statement.
