Congrats! My little brother just approached me a few weeks ago to tell me that he had become an atheist as well.

He said it was because of what I said that made him rethink many of his personal beliefs, but his biggest compliment was when his new born daughter died (I never got to see her since she was in the hospital under germ lock down) and he saw all of the hypocrisy from the rest of the Christian family about not having a preacher present during her wake. He said that me and my wife were the only ones in the group complimenting him on how beautiful and real the gathering was, and that we didnt say "stupid shit" like "..at least she's in a better place now.". I hang my head in shame that some of my family members told him that his dead daughter was not going to heaven for lack of a preacher at the service...its fucking outrageous!

I want my neice sitting in my lap right now, alive and well, not in the grave or some "afterlife".

She won't call herself an atheist. LOL She says she just doesn't believe in gods anymore. She said the turning point for her was a few months ago when were were discussing the subject of christianity, and she mentioned that there were so many things in this world that couldn't be explained, and I said that was true, but that doesn't mean we should make up explanations for them just because we haven't figured out a real one yet. So she started reading, questioning, and thinking about it... and of course, she ended up ditching the god bullshit. Yay for mom!

Sorry about your niece! That's so sad... anyone who said such things to your brother is just a horrible person.

Atheist arguments are much better and make sense... it is inevitable that atheism will spread in a free society.

Now that our message is not censored, we will grow exponentially.

Indeed it will. Indeed it will.

I predict that the UK will be practically non religious within a generation. Society is already more or less secular from an outside perspective, though there are still lots of churches and a fair few people still attend - but they don't shout about it or pressure others to do it. Once the older people die off then religion will crumble.

The only potential fly in the ointment is islam, as it will try to grow into the gaps left by the demise of xtianity. The muslims, you could say they are...dedicated...to the expansion of islam.

I think the USA is around 50 years behind Europe, but the wind of change still blows there. It'll be a slower process, but it's still exponential.
