Black Female Athiest Looking for Atheist Friends!

[5thHorseman]

Hello Everyone!

I am 20 years old and I have been questioning my religion since I was very young. Because of fears that I associated with not believing in "God" I remained a Muslim for 20 years...until a month ago when I decided I could not live like this anymore. I am senior in college and I am holding off on telling my religious family until I know I can financially support myself if they decide to abandon me. I don't have any openly atheist friends and it gets lonely not having a few friends who hold some of the same views on the topic of religion that I do. So I decided to join this forum and try to make some new friends.

Welcome. Good idea to stay quiet until you're financial independent. This place is great for getting away from it, there are many, many likeminded people.

Enjoy.

Welcome. As a black, female ex-Muslim, you bring some much needed diversity here.

As for me, I became an atheist because I just like living a life of sin.

Are shadows on a screen real? I don't think so, but I am fond of a few of them here. Welcome and tell us how much of the cave you can see.

Hah, welcome to the forums from the Heresiarch. I can assure you this place is one hell of an awesome roller-coaster ride. Stick around and you might find yourself learning things both about the world and yourself that you never even considered, I sure as hell have.

My story...well, it's in the Converts Corner. It's a bit of a necrothread but it's there for reference all the same. I put a bunch of detail into it, if you are interested. Again, welcome to the forums!
