Hey there. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I can understand that some things are really difficult to come to terms with at first. There's a lot of identity problems that you're probably going through right now. That's never been easy, for anyone.
I read about some of the YouTube channels you've been watching and it sounds like they've been a bit hard-hitting for you. I'm not familiar with any of their work, but I know their reputation and many of them are known to be quite extreme and in the line of what we call 'strong atheism.' I just want you to know that this hard line of atheism, while perfectly acceptable by all atheists, isn't everyone's 'cup of tea.' Personally, I struggle to watch videos that tear religion apart to those extremes. Have you ever watched videos from 'The Atheist Voice'? He's writes a blog called The Friendly Atheist and he is very good with steering away from totally destroying religion. His videos are very, very good and might be just what you need to ease you into things a little.
