[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another Catholic turned atheist. I never really believed it completely. Like it didn’t make sense even as a kid but I kept trying anyways by going back to church.  And then I stopped in my early 20s. I think religion has done more harm than good in the world. I never understood the doing something/not doing something bc it’s what your God wants. Like you should be a decent person bc it’s the right thing not bc it will earn you brownie points. And the hypocrisy of the most fundamentalists in any given religion.  Like being gay is a sin-but all this other stuff (killing in the name of your God, greed, etc) is ok? And I work in health care—and I hear all sorts of things that just don’t make sense (God’s will, miracle, etc).  But I don’t go around preaching atheism. In fact, I don’t tell anyone unless directly asked.  [/quote]

I don’t tell anyone either. In fact, when asked I just say “I’m not religious” rather than say I’m an atheist. It sounds softer somehow. [/quote]
