He'd probably be really nice to talk to about the things that bug you in your daily trans life.

Hello!
My theistic story is very much the same as yours. I never really believed, and I just grinned and bore it until I was in college and knew I was never going to need my parents financially any longer. My advice: study your ass off. Get out of Alabama for college, or at the very least go to Auburn. Learn, learn learn. Make something good for your life, and then you can be WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE. Intelligence and being a good person breeds confidence, and confidence breeds success. Use this time that you have to go to church as a study period. Catalogue the ridiculous things taught in church, study them and learn how to refute them. Learn by example what you don't want to be. There are some good things that churches do in the community, even if they do it with bribery. Some don't. Learn what they do and think of ways to do it without religion, or help them out when they are doing good things without the bribery. Bottom line, do everything you can not to be a person who proves any stereotype. [/advice from a rando in the interwebs]
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
