The long and winding road.

[FMC]

Hi, all!
My road to deconversion started about 5 years ago. I was a "born-again" christian who went thru all the prescribed stages. To be fair, I believed all that stuff and tried to live accordingly. The change started when I became dissilussioned with the church I "worshipped" at. A call was made one Sunday for a special collection to fund a new youth wing. This bothered me because just that morning on the drive to church, I saw homeless people. It didn't make sense to spend millions on a new building when the money could be better spend helping people in need!
This compelled me to leave the church and once this happened, I started thinking for myself.
This was the start of a new life. The feeling of freedom and wonder which I experienced then is still with me to this day!

Hi from the UK!

Many people in here share your experience (i.e. humanistic concerns causing them to evaluate their religious beliefs). You'll probably fit in just fine

Afterbirth for me, please. And pass the mother's tears...they make the meal.

It's a phase. You'll grow out of it.

Hello!

Like you, OP-- when I departed from religion is when I started to look at my entire worldview a but differently. Maybe for the first time in my life, I felt good thinking for myself without a set of rules telling me how to think. Welcome and good luck to you!
