It's great to hear from you!
You're doing really well. A struggle such as the one you're having is totally to be expected, and you're showing great strength to not just throw in the towel and let your emotional programming run the show. Logic will defeat religion every single step of the way, I can guarantee it as much as I can guarantee anything. Break it down, write it down on a piece of paper. Analyse it logically, and you'll bust through anything your emotions throw at you.
The difference between talking to free thinkers like us and talking to those who want to suck you back into religion is that we (most of us at least!) won't expect you to take our word for anything. We'll encourage you to go think for yourself, do research and see if you agree with what we are saying. In contrast, religious fanatics will do all they can to stop you thinking for yourself, and to just submit to their claims.
Truth doesn't need protecting, it doesn't need ploys and cheap tricks.
Keep on fighting, and let us know how you get on! We're here to help you all the way. I have a bit on my website about talking to family and friends about loss of faith, in case it's of any help. Click here if you are interested!
