Hi! I am a grad student from New York and I was studying late last night when I happened upon this forum. Im so happy to find great people like me! I feel very isolated sometimes so Im happy there is a spot online where I don't have to feel that way.
I was agnostic for a long time but in the past 2 years or so I've become emphatically atheist and it feels amazing. I have never felt better actually
Likes: Video games, learning, programming java and now im learning ruby (altho its just a hobby), anime, dinosaurs, fringe the tv show, and science. LOL im 28 yrs old..
Dislikes: Christian music and anyone who is even remotely against gay rights or abortion
Thanks for being here!

Recently I read Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists, and Losing My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting on Religion in America -- and Found Unexpected Peace. Both authors, Barker and Lobdell, echo your sentiment and declared feeling more at peace and happier after becoming atheists. I wonder how common this experience is? I also wonder if those moving in the opposite direction have similar feelings?
Welcome.
