Hi gubeym. Welcome to the Atheist Forums, one noob to another.
That Christian school you went to apparently was kissed by the Dominionists, those asshats have infected many a church and political arena these days. Be glad that you are out of that environment, be very glad.
If it helps google up any freethought/secular groups in your area. I suggest starting with the Council for Secular Humanism (who are behind the publication of Free Inquiry magazine), they usually have a state-by-state listing of such groups. That is how I found the Atlanta Freethought Society. Meeting and being around people who think similar to you is a great balm for easing any pains inflicted by the religious culture.
