I was a Christian for most of my life, up until about three years ago. I then started reading a lot of books on science, atheism, etc. I “came out” to my family about a year ago (all hard-core Christians) – it basically went okay, though I do notice a slight change in our relationship now. I guess part of that is probably because I am a fairly vocal atheist, so I have a hard time letting a lot of their comments slide.
Anyway, I just wanted to come on here and formally introduce myself, as I have had some questions lately that I would like to put out there and get everyone’s input. I look forward to participating here!
Welcome.
Glad your family didn't overreact and cut off contact as so many do.
Remember, though, that there are now whole communities of atheists to help you.
