Just joined, and I'm interested in learning about all cultures and belief systems. I'm curious what atheism means to you personally. Also why you don't believe in religion, and what you have to say about it.
You can find my story in other places on the forum. I was indoctrinated from birth, but I accidentally became an atheist when I decided that reason would bear out my beliefs. In approaching my faith with reason, I began to cast off doctrinal tenets that didn't make any logical sense and peel away layer after layer of nonsense, thinking all along that I would find God underneath. Instead, I found that I had uncovered an empty black hole.
