I guess it's more of a deconversion right?

It sucks that people can lose friends over something like (non-)belief in a god. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who rejects me simply on the basis of that.

Welcome.

I'm a pianist & vocalist! Smile

Yes. For a while I was given "the stare" and "the lecture" from my friends & some family as they were trying to make me see the light. They couldn't believe that a nice and talented girl like me would be able to have good morals without faith in the almighty man. Weeeell…lol

How wonderful to be able to something you love as a career.

Quite fulfilling in all aspects of it!

Welcome, musicality. I can only suspect that a lot of music majors are religious because they may have grown up making music in church? Also, we artist types tend to be crazy. You either fall on the depressed, atheist side or the insane, religious side. Big Grin

Nah - you didn't lose friends...you lost cultists who thought you were one of their tribe. Fuck 'em. You're better off without leeches like that.

Welcome.

To celebrate your arrival here is the Finale to Act I of Rossini's La Italiana in Algeri.

What the last guy said!

Welcome!

It's all tribalism, superstition, manipulation, and exploitation.
Congrats for stepping out of that loop!
Trap, really.

It changes your perspective on the human condition and its potential.
