I am from France (please excuse the English mistakes, I will try to not commit too much of them^^) and am currently an atheist. I have had many different religious/spiritual beliefs in my life: was raised Christian, got into new age stuff when I was 14 (reincarnation, charas, even tried to learn telekinesis... fun memories I must say x) ). Then just abandoned specific beliefs around 16/17 yo, which led me to a vague deistic/pantheistic view of the world until my philosophy classes during my last high school year, which led me more towards atheism/materialism/rationalism I guess.
I am now 24, but only some months ago have I revealed to my parents that I am no longer a Christian, and I kind of regret it... It was much easier to pretend than to watch them being disappointed (they are being kind and do not show it but still I can see it). Hope that I will be hearing from some other fellow apostates here
Looking towards speaking with you all about all kinds of interesting subjects
Bonjour Aurora. Bienvenue. That's about the limit of my French. Your English is excellent
I'm so glad your parents are accepting. They seem to realise it's not about them.
Have fun.
