I renounce God

[T.J.]

Welcome, Tori!

So it wasn't hard at all? Many atheists here have told stories about deconversion being painful. If yours wasn't, what do you think was different for you?

Did their deconversion happen all at once? Mine was a slow process that began a couple of years ago when I stopped going to church and stopped praying and reading the bible regularly. I found the bible stories and related arguments to be more and more absurd, many of the followers made me feel alienated just being around them and even the fear of hell that managed to hang on like an annoying little parasite wasn't as strong as I would make it out to be because I never went back to praying for forgiveness or reading my bible. I've done all but actually say the words until today.
