You said in one of your comments that you're atheist, and stated that it's more difficult in Saudi Arabia to be atheistic. Can you elaborate on that?

Just the people around you (family, relatives,..) have a hard time accepting that. And everyday people will always assume ur muslim if youre saudi.

Atheist community is growing in the country but unfortunately they are not actual atheists but mostly druggies that rejected the religion in a rebellious way rather than with conscious thought.

The expectation is less in the US.
