The bigger picture is Christ is building His Kingdom regardless of what evil people plan or do.

Hope he has strong angels to protect him. Islam does not tolerate apostates.
It depends on where you are and what you are doing. Western muslims are not the same as muslims in muslim countries.
Iran does not care about secular muslims but if you become a evangelical christian they will torture you until you "repent" for apostacy. Relatively tolerant if you were never a muslim though - Irish Dominicans and Armenian Christians do fine there.
Saudi Arabia, forced to be outwardly religious, tortured until you repent, and will not let you set up christian churches.
Most gulf states are somewhere between those 2.
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, as long as you are not trying to be a preacher as an ex muslim, you should be fine. Except in some rural areas.
Turkey, you are fine.
Dagestan, killed.
Chechnya, killed.
Afghanistan, killed.
Urban Tajikistan, you are completely fine, rural Tajikistan you are killed.
Coastal Western Africa, not an issue at all. Inland western africa, killed.
Somalia, killed.
Other parts of east Africa, relatively high chance of getting killed but the majority are fine
Maghreb excluding Egypt, misdemeanor but you are spending a few months in jail.
Egypt, a decade in prison and the government takes everything you own.
Pakistan, your entire family will get killed.
Oh, and everything I just said is presuming you are just a Christian and not a political dissident. Because countries are far more willing to throw the book at you if you are a political dissident - and no, I am not just speaking about muslim countries there.
There are approx. 10 million Coptic Christians in Egypt, and while they are sometimes targeted at times, they have full religious protection under the law. Look up the writings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers for some very inspiration Christian writing by the ancient Copts.
Except they are forced to use sharia as the legal system - such as inheritance disputes. And even that level of respect is because Mohammad's 11th and 12th wives were Egyptian Copts given to him so he wouldnt invade Egypt.
Coptics were Christians who became Muslim then reverted back to Christianity.
A the Coptics I've Ever met have a small cross tattooed on the web of their thumb.
Muslims do not like tattoos so this is a big deal and is not reversible so it shows their commitment.
How about Malaysia, Indonesia?
Indonesians island hop to a Christian island, Malaysians move to Thailand.
In no case where I said "killed" was I referring to the government killing people. In every case I was talking about lynch mobs made by ordinary people. Especially in Pakistan - their government does not want to touch that with a 10 foot pole.
