I have recently 'converted' to Atheism/Free-thinking from Christianity and was looking for some guidance / resources / like-minded people to help me on the road to independence and reason.
Glad I stumbled onto this forum--and hope to enjoy some open-minded discussion and the oft casual chat
The reason that my faith in God / Christ was shattered was something that bothered me my whole life--and then this gem from http://www.evilbible.com/why_i_am_not_a_christian.htm

QuoteI would not worship that horror (God). It violates my morality to worship a hypocritical, judgmental, self righteous murderer. In punishment, it could send me to the hell it’s made for those it dislikes, and if there was no other choice but worshiping it, I would walk in proudly.

Welcome to the forum!
When I was a newbie atheist, I found a lot of comfort in online resources. I read up a lot at the "internet infidels" (huge online library there). Also, you might try checking out some books from the library. They might have these authors: Carl Sagan (especially "Demon Haunted World"), Richard Dawkins (especially "The God Delusion) or anything by Sam Harris
