It was a number of things really.  I had a strong foundation in Science and History and things like evolution for example  just didnt fit with what I had been "taught". I hate to refer to it as religious education because the two dont go together but thats exactly what happened.  My "religious education" and my college education and beyond just didn't jive.  From history to morality to science and mathematics none of my belief in God made sense anymore.

That is excellent.  My favorite way for someone to switch, which seems such a simple thing.  Some good stuff on this site, glad to have you here.

Jimmy's right. I didn't really know where to start on here. I tried creating a group but it gained zero popularity, so I just started surfing and jumping into some conversations. Some people just contacted me and so on. So far people have had a pretty good sense of humor on here, and thats usually one of my top priorities. gotta laugh at least a couple of times a day or the days wasted, lol.

"Religious education" is usually an oxyoron, unless it's a dispassionate education ABOUT religion.

One of the best philosophy classes for me was Philosophy of Religion, and The History of Religious Ideas. Real eye openers. Both can generate the most amazing classroom heat during discusions.
