Hi All

Hi All
Greetings!!! You can call me Lou. I've been calling myself an Atheist since I was 11 years old. Since all of my friends and relatives are Religious, this is the best place I could find to exchange my thoughts with people that have the same perspective, in religious terms, as I have.

RE: Hi All
Hi I don't know any atheists in real life, either. One of my classmates in high school was an atheist, but I didn't know about it until late senior year. I haven't told anyone outside of this forum about my deconversion. Welcome.

Hi Lou. This forum for me has been thought provoking, so enjoy. Smile

By you saying you have been calling yourself atheist, is that openly so your friends and family know?

Sure, all the atheists here agree that there is no gods. Everything else is up for debate Big Grin


Hello and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I always find it rather odd. In my social circles religious people are often looked at as weird.

Strange that in America it's the total opposite.

Welcome newb.

Sorry for not answering earlier, I had forgot about this thread. I am 19 years old.

Well, I don't tend to say this at anyone I just met or already know, but if they ask me I will tell them and yes, my family and friends know.
