America is Tragically Soul-Sick

I have to say, I have not once encountered an atheist who says any of those things at the end. I feel sad that you must have encountered some really beaten-down atheists. I can't imagine what it's like living in the nut house of xianity though. Maybe you could start an atheist support group for other local sane people?

I'm not trying to say you're wrong, just that my experience has been almost the opposite. Which is good, right? And sure, I wasn't encouraging long periods of adjustment after religion, just saying I can understand how it could affect someone. I'm still mentally damaged from my childhood, not from religion, but I can sympathise.
