I feel deep anger over how religion is used to manipulate .. how we don't have true separation of church and state here in the US. How people say to my face that they will prey for me or they wish they could just sit with me and the bible to show me how wrong I am....I'm like...Nooooooo...I do not believe in a God...what part of that do you not understand you stupid F*%k...Religion just pushes my crazy button I guess when people won't leave me along God/s and Religions have had a long run...what say...we do a reset and give the other side a chance to run things?

Bizarre.

They can't see it or recognise it. But - as they all have doubts (of course) a public deconversion can be deeply unsettling. After all every faith head is challenged by rationalists pointing out that there is no basis for their belief other than tribal allegience (which just means - being accepted, being one of the gang: we all need a bit of that) and the pain of admitting they have been wrong potentially for a long time and potentially with quite serious effect. But that doesn't make it any easier to listen to their bigotry of course! All that bothering you is just the believers hiding their deep seated lack of belief. They can’t see it or recognise it.

I am not very many steps behind you, if any, so I'm finding your thoughts very helpful in bolstering my "disbelief" and self de-programming. I think it is very hard for people who have been thoroughly brainwashed for their whole lifetime to accept that you are no longer brainwashed too, and that you have rejected the "God" that they still hold as so central to their own being. Your blog is a beacon for many of us. I hope you will not be discouraged or disheartened by family or friends who hope to lure you back into the herd. It takes a strong person to "come out the closet" of non-believing or atheism. I admire you.
