 Who was the 1st convert to Islam?

The first convert to Islam was Khadija bint Khuwaylid, who was the first wife of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Khadija was a wealthy and respected merchant in Mecca and supported the Prophet Muhammad in his early days of receiving revelations. She accepted Islam without hesitation and became one of the strongest pillars of support for the Prophet. 
 all #religion is silly and a childish remnant of primitive belief systems, in which people fantasized about 'sky daddies', to help them cope with things they didn't understand, in a time where science was not yet known 
 the 'prophet' is yet another example of silly religious belief systems from primitive epochs, long gone; modern man has no place for these fantasies
