Eventually others with that same instilled indoctrinated fear were also able to admit they too were atheists.

I had the same experience with Buddhism. As far as I can tell quite a few Atheists do. I think its because Buddhism makes alot of philosophical sense that can be distilled from its religious origins.

It is a softer introduction to being kind and compassionate without that fear. I like the Buddhists I've met, and have read a few books on that philosophy.

There is an equal to each other feel with those I've met.

Try tantra mediation, you are young and whew the sex is fabulous.

And there are the magical words which make me immediately google whatever they're attached to. Thank you. :-)
