To the op,
I think that if you skim through the types of advice offered, it should be pretty clear to you that some people do not have a firm grasp on reality. As you know, it's not their fault.
Have you ever heard the expression: "You can't see the forest from the trees."? The christians on here are smack-dab in the middle of the woods. You, are heading towards a clearing. What you thought to be never ending trees, is actually just a small wooded glen. You have glimpsed reality. You are seeing signs that what you once thought was absolutely true, has a lot of flaws. After a lot of thought, you will be able to get out of the woods. You will see it as it is. A small area that has trees, and a lot of people within that area that are convinced that those trees are all that is.
Continue on your journey of knowledge, challenge everything, and accept nothing without a good reason.
That's pretty much all that's required to be an Atheist. We're pretty easy going people. Congratulations on seeing the exit sign. What follows is sure to be a memorable experience.
