I've deconverted from Christianity about 3 years now. I'm the only agnostic/ atheist in my entire family stretching all the way to the pumpkin vine relatives. I know one or two atheist but we're just merely acquainted with each other. So unfortunately for me there is no one I can talk to and share ideas and discussions with especially with regards to religion. I'm a pretty liberal person so my ideas and opinions are a sharp contrast when compared to my friends and family. It can get pretty lonely when you can't express freely and you have to keep parts of your personality to yourself. I actually went through a period of depression when I realised there was no God. I felt like I got thrown out into the dark empty space and had no purpose... At times I still feel like that... but there is no going back, I can't go back. I'm like Neo when he escaped the Matrix... So needless to say I can relate to being singled out, oppressed and being a minority. I've been in relationships with ppl of religion but for a relationship to work there needs to be compatibility. In my case religious compatibility is important. So I decided to step out of my comfort zone and for the first time reach out to the agnostic/atheist community
