After becoming an atheist I realized all my friendships weren't as deep as I once thought, once my friends found out I no longer beleived we fell apart, I've been going to the same school and church my entire life, most of my earliest memories are of Sunday school, i've realized I actually don't know how to make friends, its even more difficult finding friends who agree with me on religious matters, I still like my old friends and we talk occasionally, but it just makes me really sad when I see how indoctrinated they all are, I wanna be around people that don't make me feel so terrible for their sake all the time.

so for anyone who's ever lost friends, family or other people in their lives after leaving a religion, how did you go about finding new friends or a group of people to be around?
