Nice to be here!

Nice to be here!
I'm a lifelong nonreligious person who considers himself an existentialist rather than an atheist. I've enjoyed the writings of various New Atheist figures like Dawkins and Dennett, but I find that they're very selective in their skepticism. We should be as critical of science and the tendency to systematize and objectify humanity, as we are of religion.

I look forward to stimulating discussions with you all!

Welcome Woof.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

As I understand it, there are both religious existentialists (e.g. Kierkegaard) and atheist ones (e.g. Sartre). This could be an interesting thing to explore. 

(We're not allowed to discuss things on this thread, but maybe elsewhere.)
