Did you explore other faiths or go from christian to non directly? Actually, that's something I'd love to know about anyone willing to share. Whether there were any "alternative" faith periods between christianity and atheism..and what those were.
Good question, Rhythm! I actually went DRUID for a while. Yep, there is a neopagan group that worships the old nature gods and goddesses, and actually grants status within the group for study: take a class, any class, on any subject. Pass the course and level up. They were so kind and supportive, and the group just warmed my nerdy little heart. But I had to admit that I didn't think Cernunnos or the Morrigan were any more real than any other deity. The candles on the altar were pretty and warming and calming but there was nobody listening when I prayed.
