Reply To: Dealing with Grief After Forsaking Religion

[.]

Also….Michelle….You’re not forsaking anything. You’re learning to think critically and think for yourself and form opinions about the world based on what YOU truly think and feel. There is nothing to forsake because religion is a human construct that was at one time useful for our survival….but it no longer is….It taught you to feel guilty. That guilt is only strengthened by the culture that we live in and the impossible demands placed on women. Especially here in the U.S. We’re never good enough no matter what we do. Or am I the only one who feels that way?

How long have you been an Atheist?
