Originally I was a theist when I joined the first forum (AF.com). I thought I had the answer to 'the meaning of life' hence why I joined but all that changed within 3 months. Long story short, got banned for supposedly being an undercover theist after announcing my deconversion.
My first week as a non-believer felt like being underwater because I had to bottle up my lack of belief in God. Having 80% Christian friends and the remainder 20% atheists but mutual friends of your Christian ones meant I couldn't tell anyone in real life, or let alone discuss, my new world view. So naturally I started looking for a new forum otherwise I would have lost my sanity from not being able to express my new self.
