Hi! I 'm a newbie. I live in MS. Its a beautiful and frustrating place to live. I married a wonderful man, little over a year ago. We had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I'm studying Philosophy and Religion at college. I love it. I am building up some courage to tell my super christian family that I am atheist. Currently I am reading the Qur'an and adding in notes from the skeptic's annotated Qur'an and different websites. It's fun. If you know any good reading for that let me know. Thank you.

Welcome.
If you identify as both atheist and spiritual, can you clarify what the spiritual part means please? ![[Image: Untitled2_zpswaosccbr.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1140.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn569%2Fthesummerqueen%2FUntitled2_zpswaosccbr.png) 
Haha your going to say I'm agnostic, but Spiritual Atheist sounds much prettier. I am a spiritual person. I love mythology. I love the nature of religion. I love going for long walks in the middle of nowhere and seeing the beauty that is science, but I don't believe in any god. (Why more people believe in one god that many gods has never made since to me, but I think that is for a different forum.) Anyway to me there is an undeniable emotional feeling to life that I can best describe as spiritual. But like I said I don't believe in god, any god. So, hence Spiritual Atheist.
I don't know that I'd call it "agnostic," but I get the feeling - the same sort of thing Walt Whitman wrote about in his poetry, which, while distinctly spiritually bent, oddly enough lent me the support I needed to help admit and revel in atheism.

Heyo and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. 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

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK "That's disgusting.
