My name is Amalynne. 25, female from SoCal, embracing my atheism in full. I have left the plastic mega-church world of Orange County, an automaton wasteland, for reason, logic, and a more immediate love of the now in this brief flickering life.
When reason hit me on the head Christmas morning two years ago, I was at first furious that I had been lied to, then I was depressed that so few people I knew had reached similar revelations, and now I am more calmly resigned... even while I am being severely judged by family members and peers for my newly announced disbelief.
I'm looking to connect with likeminded people who have been through similar experiences, and of course, anyone fabulous.

Welcome to the forum
I'm assuming SoCal is southern california or south carolina? I dunno I'm not an american, I don't know how it's like to be an atheist in the USA but I've heard it can be though.
Are you depressed because you felt like everyone lied to you or because you realized there is no heaven or eternal reward?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
