Hello Blanca, glad you could make it here.
I recently deconverted after 30 years as a funda mentalist Christian, and I also live in the Bible belt. Oddly I did the agnosticism thing for a while too. Deconversion can sometimes make your head spin as your whole reality gets adjusted. Even now my head still spins a bit. I have found that if you are honest (and it appears as if you are) the people here are really supportive. They are also really cool about things when you are wrong about stuff so long as you aren't arrogant (i.e. willing to accept an argument that is presented well enough to be considered). I've been corrected many times, mostly about biblical interpretation, and they are really cool about it. There is so much stuff I didn't learn as a fundy. These people here are able to present the facts well and will cite their sources if asked. Of the people I've met here Min, rhythm and DiestPaladin (I really need to learn how to spell his name) have been very helpful with providing information and sources. BTW min I finished reading some of the books you suggested. DP has some great Youtube videos.
Oh and if you need to vent they can vent along with you.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
