And, of course, we sacrifice teens here to the Dark One.

It's dusky, not dark.

I wouldn't have spent anytime here if available in my teens, or 20's.

"Not enough butt jokes."

Having three teenagers myself, two of them are registered here and yet they hardly, if ever, visit here or post.

They have instagram, snapchat, PS4, XboX and friends. They have no time to be on here.

Well, congratulations on being an atheist at such a young age, Dodos! I was a theist when I was your age, so you're probably smarter than me.

It's a shame I only got on here 30 days after I turned 20. And I've been here for 8 1/2 years. Then I would have claimed to have been one.

Most teens have those things most of us used to have.

If I recall correctly, it's called a life.


Also, there is absolutely no reason to check Val's crawl space . . .

I also noticed that most of you born into religious families were only beginning to doubt religion at this point, the transition happened much later. So maybe that explains why the religious kids turned atheists aren't here. But what about those born into atheist families?

Reasons will vary of course but my own stepson (six years old when his mom and I got together) was raised without religion but has gone very strongly in that direction.  He is almost 42 now.  *Dodo reels in horror*  He has become a priest of some kind in a group associated with the Brazilian guy who slices people open in trance and calls himself John of God.

 Dodo is traumatized.

That would prevent teens from being active on all forums and websites in general, but that's not really the case. 
And I know a lot of people, including myself, who have all these things (well except an XboX... PS4 for the winnnn), use them quite regularly, and also run blogs, participate on websites, etc. It seems like it's the topic of this forum, aka atheism, that is playing a part in it. 

Oh and @Valkyrie, I'll have you know my mental age is 5. Not a teen.
