Just within the last year I've slowly converted to agnosticism, and now to atheism. It's a hard road to follow here in the south because I've been pretty much labeled as "crazy" now. The nail in my "religious coffin" was Dawkin's "The God Delusion." My newfound views are not easy, and I've been trying to spread my story of conversion to my friends on Facebook and via my blog, but I just have one question for anyone reading this: It's a very lonely, isolated feeling to be where I'm at, although I think I've converted my wife and brother at least, but I was just wondering if anyone has any good advice or experience that they can offer up to me to help me push on through the resistance? I think it's very important for our world to change in this religious era, therefore I think keeping to myself is definitely wrong. Thank you for your time.
