September 2018. Here for the craic.

Toughen up and stay awhile. One has complete control over what one does on the internet. I joined about the same time as you and stay as it is an enjoyable and sometimes a learning experience and is a good online activity.

As an agnostic I joined in the hopes I would commiserate with like minded individuals .It turned out this could not be further from the truth .

I joined shortly after the website started in 2017 and rose to level 7 and was banned so I eventually rejoined under a different name mainly because of the friends I have met in here.

I joined in Oct. 2017. At first I was just curious to see what the site was like. I liked the idea of an angnostic/atheist site with dating aspects to it. I mostly liked how the conversations were much more factual and intellectual than what is on Facebook.

Joined a couple of years ago. I think.Ok, really, IDK. I'd have to look it up.

MUCH more interesting than FB, general forums and roofing forums. I honestly have an interest in religion....history of it, Things it has done. What it is doing and It's influences. etc etc I am satisfied that much is posted and it is called out on here for what it is, hopefully truthfully, rather than legitimized as some sort of fucking "wonder"
I'm still sorting through the trauma/ drama it has in my personal / family life.
This is a valued place for me

I joined in June 2018 when I was looking into secular funerals and how to go about putting something in place for myself when I die...to save my family having to. I was on a Humanist site and for some reason got redirected here...curiosity made me join and see what it was all about.

This was my first venture into Social media as I’d decided not to join FB or any of the others. I have stayed because I have enjoyed the interaction with others, some of whom I’ve formed a bond of friendship with, despite the fact that I live in the UK and most of them are on the other side of the world. The fact that we don’t believe in god is secondary to the fact that regardless of belief or lack of it, we are gregarious and social animals, it is that social connectivity that I have found enjoyable and which has kept me here.

Ditto, but not surprising since I can be a little rough around the edges occasionally. Still appreciate having a forum to talk with people not drinking the cool aid. Coming to realize that most people live in a ridiculous made up reality that you can easily poke holes in to no point, because at heart they are comforted by it... I feel like growing up is a rough journey of stripping away your own delusions and seeing life for what it is. I believe this site is helping me do that even if there is a little friction occasionally.

Oct. 2017. Why I stay ??? I guess because the interactions bring back memories.

Just a bored atheist looking for interesting conversation and people. I drop out for a month or so every now and then, especially when most the posts get to being "religion did this to the world" and not topics that interest me. Yes, religion is bad but it exists and I deal with it. I may be a little self indulged but it's my keyboard and I'll do what I want with it.

2017 and still hoping to meet someone special!

Nov 2017. I’m masochistic.

1. Don't remember exactly when. I'm pretty sure it was last year though.
2. If I am still here it probably is because it's free and I've joined some pretty good groups that are not annoying.

Joined Feb 25th, 2020.

I live in a house full of very conservative Christians. I come to this site to vent a little, or, at least, to remind myself that plenty of sensible folks are out there, and freely declaring atheism.

Simply posting a few words, from time to time, and doing the atheist equivalent of,
"Can I get an Amen?"
And reading some reply, that re-assures me I am not alone, in my atheism.

So, whoever reads this, can I get an atheist "amen?"

I made this account a little more than a year ago as I want to see networks that promote communities such as this one succeed and grow. As a community facilitator I would have not joined on board if I didn't know that the Agnostic team was one filled with great people who want to do good.

To add to this. There are thousands of atheist & agnostic themed groups on Facebook. But this team cares about the real time interactions and comments that people here are making. A real humanist component.

Longing for a community that's more like me and where I don't have to hide that I don't believe in a wizard in this sky.

I joined as a dating site in 2017, I met the most wonderful woman and we've been together since 2018. I came back for friendship and .... fellowship. Lol

I joined the end of 2018. I stay...well I'm really not active on here but I am trying to be better at that. I stay because I hope to make some friendships or at the very least have some fun conversations.

I joined because I liked some of the commentary. I've blocked a few and been blocked by a few (no loss either way) but I find it an interesting way to spend time on occasion.

Plus I keep thinking a beautiful Atheist will arrive in my area and we will sweep each other off our feet.

A guy can dream, can't he?

Forgetful of when I joined and cannot find the date on the site. With that said, I stay because of community and that being reinforced with blogs people have here. My problematic issues are people who want to debate you and apparently think every remark you post has to have an answer tit for tat until you simply give up on replying again to their nonsense. People need to be aware that if others give an opinion on a blog that said opinion is not always directed in an individual way. This is NOT a debate site. I am opinionated but I will not debate you.

December 23, 2017. I also remeber when this was very new and it was a good thing. I stay on the site as there are many good people here, but mostly to help new people on the site who may still have questions bout gods, religion,and why people do not believe.

There's definitely a comfort in a community of other atheists, even if that includes agnostics. I stay in order to engage consistently with others, knowing I can still debate with people I disagree with.

Came for the dating site part, but now focus on community (unless the opportunity arises). Not sure when I signed up.

Aug 8, 2018. I stay because this is one of the better and more active atheist websites.

Being stupid It sure looks like!!!

Unlikely mined people are everywhere!!!
