No atheism on Facebook
From the IAmAnAtheist feedback form: I’ve emailed you before, I don’t know if you remember…but it shows how great the people around me are (at least about religion) when I’m asking for advice from people on the internet that o don’t even know the gender of. The last email was probably better planned out, but [...]

Unanswered prayers and atheism
This message was left as a comment on one of my posts. I replied directly to the poster via e-mail. My 21 year old son is an atheist. We had him in a christian school for four years, we went to church every sunday. When his grandfather died in our driveway on Christmas and my [...]

Undecided about religion
Hello, my name is Stephanie. I am a sophomore in college, days shy of my 20th birthday. I found your website via StumbleUpon, and I wanted to write to you because I have really begun to have some conflict with my religion.

I have an actual useful question now actually. During the past few months I have been becoming increasingly interested in religion, spirituality, atheism etc. and have been trying to work out where I stand in it all (which is how I came across Joseph Campbell). Anyway as my university term has now finished I have [...]

I have been raised as a Mormon for 17 years. And only in the past two have I come to reject it. At first it was not conciously done, now I am fully athiest. This has led to inevitable conflict with my family, especially since I still have to go to church and keep up [...]

I am a sophomore in high school, and I have been atheist since around sixth or seventh grade, although I didnt really understand why. I guess it seemed to be the intellectual belief, and to be honest, I’m an intellectual person. My arguments basically consisted of “There are many things more likely than the existance [...]
