I feel like giving up my beliefs but find it hard to let go completely. I know there are many people who feel this way.
I live ,as many do, in a place with christain beliefs, and you are looked down on for not going to church, events,etc.
How did many of you take that big jump to let go completely?
It feels good to find a place to talk freely and not be judged.
Thanks,

Welcome Woof.
I got out at age 13, so of course, my biggest fight was with my parents. They had to deal with the religious community fall out, I didn't really care.
I'm in an approx 98% christian community and for the most part an open atheist. The judgement by christians never stops. Just grow a thick skin and don't be afraid to offend them when they're out of line. I'm confident they have no problem offending you.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
