Hello, I am an atheist who lives in the Deep South. As you might expect, I am constantly surrounded by religious people. I was forced to go to church while growing up. I suppose you could say that I believed in God, but it was not really a conscious decision on my part. I just was not very aware of any alternatives. I started questioning my religion at around the age of 15, and I stopped attending church as soon as my mom would allow me to stop (at around the age of 16).

I am now a recent college graduate. Most people who know me know that I am an atheist, but there are still a few people I have not told. I likely will never tell my grandmother because, frankly, it would probably give her a heart attack.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know all of you on this forum.

No, this is what my username refers to:

I am currently reading Brian Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos where he discusses this topic.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
