My name is Keli. But u can call me okie. I recently came out as an atheist to my friends and family. I surprisingly got s good reception...just the usual "we love you's" and "we'll pray for you "and so on. I was so worried at first mainly Bc of my living in the buckle of the Bible belt. But I've come to terms with it and am free and happier than I've ever been. I am an activist type person but my hubby has to remind me that because I'm a teacher I will need to tone it down at work...which I agree. I wont wear t shirts with FSM on them or atheist quotes....and because I love my Jeep I wont get a Dawkins A or a Darwinian fish with legs sticker anytime soon. Lol.
I just turned 40 yesterday. Wish I'd have figured all this out and had the courage to be an atheist sooner....but it was gradual and due to my indoctrinated upbringing, it wouldn't have made sense for it to have happened any other way I guess. Anyway...I'm here and look forward to some stimulating conversations!
-Okie
