Hello People
Hi everyone!
I'm Mike, I'm an atheist, been so forever.
I am an aeronautical engineer by trade, just got out of the Navy where i flew jets for a living.
My family are all staunchly religious, enough so I had to wait until I left for the Naval Academy before I "came out of the atheism closet," as it were.

I have been on several atheist boards before, but I got deployed and they all got shut down or no longer exist. It's been a couple of years... But I love the atheism community, being surrounded by intelligence is a necessity in my life. I need the stimulation, the debates, the camaraderie. Especially moving from southern California to rural Tennessee!

So, I look forward to adding something to this community if you'll have me!

Welcome, flyboy.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

It's always great to have new members aforum, 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

I'd warn you about some of our less intelligent members but you'll spot them yourself soon enough.

Welcome aboard.
