It's harder for some people to stay religious once they've left their bubble. For me it was talking to people on message boards who were not baptists.

The name sounds familiar. Have you been Strider on any other forums?

Ah, you've got it as rough as I do! By the way, I went to college in Alabama - the University of North Alabama. The best cure for any lingering doubts regarding religion is education. Wink

Nope, this is my first foray as "Strider". I also considered "Magical Squirrel"...probably made a better decision with "Strider". Tongue

*high pitched voice* Power! Ultimate power!

A good college education can certainly make you more secular. At least if you stay away from christian colleges.

Christian colleges can and very often do have the exact opposite effect. Naturally, that is a desired outcome by these "colleges", but that's a discussion for another time. Razz

Hiya welcome!

Sorry you are surrounded by so many brainwashed types. Its my hope that Christianity is on the way out. I think each new generation is less impressed with its bullshit, and non belief is on the rise.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
