Yup..Christianity is pretty much a mind control cult..which also takes your money. I'm sorry you went through that.

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve.

For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.

You can improve your website score in general by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.

Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others who are compatible with them.

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page or at [agnostic.com].

Yes, religion is surprisingly dark. I discovered back in the 80s that religious people view everyone as evil people who need to be controlled, while nonreligious people view most people to be basically good.

My ex-wife is religious, and apparently she felt that if she could get me to walk into a church that I'd join up. She just didn't understand the concept of having principles, having none herself.

Awwweeee.... I’m so sorry.

I don’t have any profound words of wisdom. Change is hard. Your transition will require so much energy.

However, I believe fully that we all have only one life and then it’s over. Such a short time to be happy and joyful.

I have hope that the journey ahead of you will be peaceful and rewarding—and you will be free from chaos and their delusional thinking.

Take care and be strong. And welcome to our group.

That's one problem with the extended life spans that we experience today it gives couples a really long time to drift apart

That’s a very sad story. I hope you find plenty of inspiration here. Lot’s of folks tell that same story and I feel so sorry for you. Just know that there IS life after divorce and you will find it. This will be a frat place to get you started toward normalcy and a happy life. Good luck to you!

I am sorry. That must be very hard. And especially for your children.
