Thank you for this friendly warning...
Thank you all for this warmly welcome ... and hope we get a chance to fight over some real issues.
As it seems to me, the world is just getting warmed up to deal with the the next generation of what I call

Where are you from Amnour (in a general country sense, not a home town-give me your address sense)?

Are you interested in knowing about my ethnic or sectarian background, before reaching atheism?
Anyways,
I must do a better job at introducing my self..
So,
I was born a Shia Muslim, in Lebanon, something like 25 years ago.
Generally,
I was always a skeptic, due to all the cultural influences around me.
But in the last 3 years I've been keenly interested in studying religion and how it affects societies on a global scale.

I used to say that I was born a Christian. I realize now that we are all born atheists and later decide what faith we wish to be.
When did you become an atheist?

Interesting, you still live in Lebanon?

You're absolutely right. We are all born atheists in the most literal sense of the word.
In fact, this realization dawned upon me after a long journey of suffering from a sense of disturbed belonging.
But specifically, it happened in 2012. It was not a quick fix sort of a thing. But rather, an excruciatingly painful process of reading and fighting with my social environment, and my own self doubts.
And to be honest, atheism was sort of forced upon me after all I saw in Syria...

Hmmmm, lets try this AGAIN ...
The Introduction Thread is NON-CONFRONTATIONAL.
There's plenty of time for you to push your agendas in some other thread.
