Not because I wish I hadn't but because of the way I treated those around me.
I wish I was better tempered. I had so much hostility and said so many harsh things to religious family and friends alike. Sure, my opposition had sometimes started the hostility first. Sure I had said sorry about most of my trespasses. And sure, most of them proved to be terrible people and being young I found it difficult to not get emotionally blind.
But really...I wish I had been a better man. Atleast to my parents. Wish I had been more passive. Wish I had ice for my boiling blood.
Anyone said terrible things to friends and family upon coming out as atheist?
I think we are all in a phase or stage of changing.
Don't look too much at your past.
Yesterday you rejected religion.
Tomorrow you may reject atheism and your search will continue until you find something that finally will give you peace of mind.
Leave the past behind and with a smile look at a bright future.
Good luck.
