[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for some of the responses.  However, can I ask the religious folks to sit this one out.  This post was not for you.  You're only proving why people abstain from religion.  Just calm down and allow Atheists to speak about their experiences.   I didn't post my questions for you to debate God or religion with Atheists.  If you can please refrain from the urge to debate with Atheists, then I will greatly appreciate it!  :thumbup:  I want this thread to remain civil.

I truly appreciate the Atheists who have responded.  I can really relate with those those of you who mentioned nature and doing good deeds.  Some of the posters who have posted have had similar experiences as I did growing up in a religious household.  I suppressed my thoughts every since I was a child to appease my parents.  However, now as an adult my feelings have resurfaced.    I just wanted to know how did Atheists come to that same point in their own lives that's all.  I'm not here to offend you or to cause a stir.  It's just me coming to the realization that there probably isn't a God.  I don't know for sure.  So, maybe I'm an Agnostic.  However, one thing that I do know for sure is that I wasted viable time in my life on religion and obsessing about the existence of God.  It's just seems that the journey that I'm going through has giving me a sense of freedom that I have never had before.        [/quote]

You're welcome.

If you are lucky to have a spouse that agrees with you, this can not just be freeing- it can bring you really close together. It focuses you to see more clearly without the haze of judgement, doubt, guilt and fear that some religions place on godlessness. And I hope that is the case for you.

If you can or want, find a secular humanist group. There are a couple in the area- they discuss ethics and volunteer and they have really amazing moral compasses. It gives even more clarity and support IRL. There is also the nice touch of not being hijacked by religious people trying to pity your coming out.

Good luck. May you find peace in your new life. [/quote]
