I'm a 21 year old catholic-turned-atheist from NY. I grew up in an Irish catholic family living in an Irish catholic neighborhood, but I never felt like I belonged, partially because I could never fully bring myself to blindly follow a belief with so many loopholes. I'd love to make some friends here since I don't know many atheists in real life (I still live with my mother while I attend a local college, and in our house, "atheist" is a dirty word).

 I don't know any atheists outside of Atheist Forums either. John Adams Wrote:The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.

I was accepted to a few universities in the UK a few years ago and would have gone had I could have gotten the money together. I'm glad I've gotten to spend all this time with my family though, so it all worked out I guess.  RE: Hello there!

Sure you do, you just haven't asked them (or they are scared/uninterested to/in tell(ing) you). Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
I have only been on this forum for six months and At first I was not ready for the differences of American and British culture. I am now not surprised at all that you don't know any atheists. The level of conformity expected in America shocked me. The amount of posts I am an atheist, but it would upset so many people if I admitted it, means you probably know many, but they will not speak about it openly.
