Three days ago it became a year since, I freed myself from religious bs and became an atheist. In 5 days it will one year on this wonderful web site. Being a former baptist, I am wondering where other former believers came from. So, I decided to make a poll and see. Just curious. I hope everyone is having a good. Every day is a better without religious bs.

Methodist, in that the last church my parents forced me to go to was, if I recall correctly, Methodist. But they tended to pick their churches by how nice the building looked & also that there weren't expected to actually change the way the lived, or give anything up, or become better people or whatever.

I haven't believed in religions since i was 16 or 17. I was born into Catholicism, and i just kinda drifted away from the religion/religions on my own. It wasn't hard for me to believe any of what they were talking about...i just couldn't fathom any of it being real. And then...ALLLLL of these religions are the TRUE religion...SOMEBODY is wrong. I kinda see it as FORD AND CHEVY!

Free of it for 30 plus years though.

Good for you. I wish I could say for 20 years , instead of one.

@freedom41 we all have different backgrounds. I am fortunate that my parents were realistic.

@CallMeDave I wish mine were more open minded for don't have to hide that I'm an Athiest.

Level 4

I was kicked out of an Evangelical free check about 8 years ago now.

May I ask, what for?

@freedom41 someone outed me as bisexual and I was told there was no room for people like me in the kingdom of god

@Agenderaj I'm sorry to hear that. One of the reasons left the baptist sect is how Christains treat the gay community. I'm pan sexual and I'm not going to be crapped on by closed minded fools. There is nothing wrong with being pan or bi.

@freedom41 I appreciate that. I've found a few Christian communities (mostly Methodist) that arent terrible to queer and trans folks, but they seem to be the exception.

@Allamanda I have a few friends who are UU and they all really like it

@Allamanda that's not the first time I've heard a congregation going like that.
