Doubt and Deconversion - Part 1
This is an attempt to honestly reveal my thought processes as I first began to develop a theistic worldview, all the way through my eventual rejection of it. Part 1 explores my very unusual introduction to religion as well as my enthusiastic embracing of it.
Thanks to Evid3nc3 for the inspiration to share something so difficult. Like him, I hope that empathy with theists may serve to bridge some gaps over difficult intellectual and emotional terrain. See his story here:

Random Note: Someone posted a comment saying that I sound like LZ Granderson. They later removed the comment, but I saw it before it was deleted. I had no idea who LZ Granderson is (I don't own a television), so I looked him up. And you know.... I do sound like him. *shrug*

@xonix2002 There is plenty of atheist literature. I just finished End of Faith by Sam Harris.

I like how part 1 ends with a hook. That's pro story telling right there!

my parent were also basically atheist (i think)...we never really discussed it...although my mother did read me verses of the bible as a very young child...but it was very similar to santa claus, and i stopped believing god when i figured out santa claus was impossible. I went to a christian boarding school, and my cousin was devoutly religious and we argued about it quite a lot....but belief just never seemed reasonable to me. I have never understood how anyone found it believable. wish i did.

@greenjelly01 Study atheism? What? Could you please explain how one may study atheism? There is no historic content to it that can be studied.
-
@Shangori haha, let me rephrase that - "study science and philosophy commonly quoted by atheists"

Why Atheists Laugh at Religionby godlessandveryhappy294,383 views
It is funny that atheists parents often don't mind their children studying religion, while most religious parents would never let their children study atheism. That shows which side has more "faith" in their "beliefs".
