Hello. I guess I should post here before anywhere else. I'm a 20 year old female. I was never raised religiously or anything.  I stopped believing in god when I stopped believing in santa. My mom told me that santa didn't exist, and then I started going through in my mind all the other things that must not exist. So you mean the easter bunny? The tooth fairy? Yeah, then the huge guy in the sky that makes thunder and watches us in our sleep is definitely out...

I joined because I feel like I'm going crazy not actually "coming out of the closet" for 10 years. I have never admitted it in real life, so I thought here was a good place to start. I am an atheist.  :D

Welcome to the forums. I hope you can stretch out your mind and relax here.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Welcome Zepto

Glad you found us and joined in, hope it is everything you want it to be.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

What??!! NOOooooooooooooo......Santa?

How is baby Jesus gonna get his Xmas presents???

Seriously...welcome to the fold.
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.
