new atheist need advice

RE: new atheist need advice
Hi Afrist! Welcome to the club! I left evangelical christianity 3 years ago and I could have written exactly the same post as you did. Personally, I have decided to tell my parents. My mother did not seem to care a lot about the fact that I left, she was more concerned with my happiness. My father found it harder to deal, and it has led to conflicts, but we already had those before. That was my experience, yours could be different. I think in general it is good to be honest and open to your family, but I know there are exceptions. Also, if you decide you want to tell, take your time for it. No need to rush it, do it when you feel more comfortable about it.

Anyways, the first time of being an Afrist can be hard. Most people will have to deal with a lot of trauma and you will have to discover the world and yourself again (I am still doing this) but eventually it will get better. I like to see that I got out of the matrix and that now I have the power to experience the actual reality.
