Hi all!
February 28, 2018 at 11:04 am
Hi folks,
Been a devout anti-theist for about 12 years now. Didn't realise that there was even a forum for this until I explored on google.
After a bit of advice on how to talk about this kind of stuff with my extended family (all of whom are deeply religious).
I don't want to offend or upset them but I feel very strongly about my beliefs (or lack thereof).
Any advice?
Much secular love
M X

Welcome.
My advice depends on how much you like your family.
One Christmas my mother and aunts (devoyt catholics) gave me a copy of the bible. In return I gave each a copy of "God is not great", by Hitchens.
