Hey all... newbie decloaking!

Argh. I never know what to put in these. Hehe. 

I'm a 53 year old atheist, but if asked in public will swear up and down it's a typo and I'm actually 35. (I am. I AM. I swear. Sort of.)

I've bounced around a fair bit since escaping evangelical christianity as a teenager (I left at about 14 and never looked back), and looked around for a belief system that made sense, until I realized, at around forty, that I was hanging onto "needing" some sort of religious label for myself since... if I wasn't practicing *something*... what even was I? Figuring out that I was queer was easier than letting go of the indoctrination I was raised with, I guess. (also hehe.) 

I'm relatively newly transplanted to Las Vegas, since 2020, and I live with the husband and we're owned by three horrible cats who will likely eat us the minute we're room temperature. I don't care. I love them desperately. They'd love me with barbecue sauce.

Welcome! Hopefully the cats will have to wait a while.

I hope so too, but one of the boys is staring at me and licking his chops suspiciously as I'm typing, so... signs may not look great. heh.

Greetings from a "27 yo". Lifelong atheist, too much work to pretend to go with the herd.
