How did people come across their atheism?

Coming Out stories!

What happened to lead you away from the Lord? What were people's reactions etc? What would you have done differently?

I was always agnostic, but when my twin brother was baptised and became a born again when we were 14 I became militantly atheistic. Haven't really moved from that position since then...

Well, I think there's already a thread for this, but...

What happened to lead you away from the Lord?

No one led me TO the "Lord." I grew up non-religious.

What were people's reactions etc?

A lot of people tried to lead me "back to the Lord." not realizing that I didn't give a flying fuck.


What would you have done differently?

I would have thanked my father for my non-religious childhood before he died. Other than that...nothing.

Since there is an 'official' thread already for the topic, I am locking this one.
