RE: Ex-theists are often like ex-smokers, sanctimonious and insufferable.

I'm and ex-smoker AND and ex-theist, and I don't feel I do any of those things. And I went to 7 years of private Catholic school, and I was a heayv smoker, so it's not like quitting either was easy.
Kind of offensive presuppositions. Many vocal atheists were never theists. Many anti-theists are also never-theists.
Yes, some people can be sanctimonious pricks. Perhaps the psychological abuse that can be religion causes some peple who get out of it to be more anti.
Do you feel the same negativity for people who escaped cults and are now trying to raise awareness of these things, and save other people from them?
