Heya.

This is actually the first atheist based forum I have found.
I recently became an atheist and I would like to read more about it and ask questions somewhere centered around atheism.

So I could probably be described as a lurker a lot of the time, but I will be absorbing your brilliant-ness as I Lurker

Thank you very much for your time, I hope you feel I'm not taking up space unnecessarily here.

Take care
xx

Welcome. Others might find it interesting to hear how you became an atheist. You could post this on threads devoted to that topic.

Butterfly stopped believing in god. I think that just about covers it.

Welcome Butterfly.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Good to have you aboard. We could always do with more atheist muscle, so rest assured you'll only be taking up necessary space.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Hi Butterfly! Where are you from? Were you a Christian in your previous life? Which version?

Hey butterfly. Welcome.

What turned you from Christian to atheist?
