New here, not new to atheism.
Hi. I'm 23-year-old female with an academic background in science.

I've been an atheist for a while now. I was raised Methodist but never believed in god. I did Bible study every week for years. At the age of 12, I left the church after an awesome minister told me to leave and explore on my own. I practiced Buddhism until I was 21. At that time, I found that I had rejected so many key parts of Buddhism that I was not really a practitioner anymore.

I'm firm in my belief that there is no god or traditional idea of a "soul" but I am still exploring to see if spirituality (whatever that may mean) exists and to what degree. Maybe this community can help.

So yeah, hi. Smile
