I am now out of the closet as an atheist. My family is deeply religious, which makes things difficult. I live with my homophobic and sexist mother. Thankfully, the majority of my friends share my views, and are supportive of me.
Anyways, I like green tea, piano, swimming, Harry Potter, calligraphy, mint chocolate ice cream, reading, and Doctor Who. I don't have a particular genre of music that I enjoy, but I love Mozart and David Bowie. I play Ultimate Frisbee on our school team.
I joined this forum to meet more like-minded people, and I suppose as a way of coping with living with my religious family. Nice to meet you ^^
Welcome, Esther!
I am also Canadian, and I also was raised in a devout Christian home, and also first left the church at about 15.
I'm female, and now almost 40.
I am also a Whovian, a fan of Bowie and Mozart;
and when the Goblet of Fire was first released (book, not movie),
I was working in a bookstore and we all dressed as our favourite character....
...despite being female, I went as Severus Snape.
I hope you enjoy your time here, and find it helpful.
