I'm 13 years old and I became an Atheist when I was 11. Not every one I know, knows I'm an Atheist, but my mother and older brother do. my close friends know and It's spread throughout the school a bit, I use to have an atheist friend in 7th grade but he moved, so I now go to a school surrounded by Ignorant Christians. I don't want to go too in depth on my conversion story, as I'll save that for the proper sectionI'm a normal teenage for the most part, except I'm really Tech Saavy which is like really out of the ordinary since I live in a really country part of the US. I don't play any sports as I'm quite scrawny. I hope to be really active on here and meet some cool people, If you have any questions about me, ask them below
Hello.
It's extraordinary to read posts like this where atheism is spoken about like it is some kind of abnormality. I am frequently astonished by the lack of tolerance in some parts of the US toward people who assert that they do not believe deities exist.
It's such an alien concept to living here in the UK, where no one really cares what your position on god - or the lack of one - is, we all just get on with it, mostly.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
