Hello. Welcome to the forum. I'm fairly new here as well. A lot of what you've said sounds familiar. I held onto my last 5% over the last few years, until I decided to come out of the dark. I think what kept me boxed in was fear, the 'what if's', and of course everything that was drilled into my head that I couldn't get out. Like what was said above; it can be scary to come out of the dark. .... and it is, but logic, happiness, freedom, and truth are good things. I am happier now than at any point that I lived in fear and followed blindly.
Atheism isn't this bad thing that people make it out to be. In fact, all it means is that you don't believe in a supernatural being and aren't religious... It doesn't mean a group of hateful, inhumane people running amuck. Everyone is different; all people have their own way and personality. So if that's something that bothers you about atheism, don't think too much about it. I wish you luck in your journey.
