Me too.

It is nice having a like minded group.

Turning loose of your parent's belief system is a struggle but you can win. I was raised in the Episcopal church and lost interest before I reached my teens. I am surrounded by people that are ardent about their religion, but happy to report, they don't push it on me. If they did, I would walk away.

I know the feeling my friend.
Hell, because I am the way that I am and saw past the religious bullshit, I lost just about all of my family. I became the "black sheep" because I refused to buy into their bullshit.
When the last of my immediate family passed away. (My father) Not a single one of those "Holier than thou" assholes even reached out to me. Instead they went to his wife and claimed all of his shit while I was hundreds of miles away. (I live in a different state)
This was 4 years ago and to this day, not a single one of them try to reach out to me.
I find it hilarious more than anything now.

So yeah, sometimes... A lot of times it's easier to connect with people you don't know than it is with people that you've known for most of your life.
