Hello everyone! *waves*
November 28, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I just joined today so hello everybody!

I'm a 29yr old stay-at-home mother to two small boys, living in the UK. I'm also studying for an undergrad degree in History. I was raised a Roman Catholic but have very recently rejected religion in favour of an atheist viewpoint, after a lifetime of feeling deeply uncomfortable with what religion taught me.

My husband is atheist but my family are all Roman Catholic and would be horrified if they knew so I have to keep quiet about it. I'm hoping this forum will be a good avenue to be able to discuss this part of my life now Smile

Hi squitten! Good to see another fellow Angel-Islander. Soon the internet will be ours...
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.'
