"way late to the discussion, but I joined a UU church for the community and religious education/protection for my kids. Most of our congregation are atheist/agnostic/secular humanists, as are at least 50% of UUs. Even those who call themselves pagan…"

Francis Deighan replied to Angela Moore Long's discussion 'Atheism, Community & Children'"One of "blessings" of an open and free country or culture is the idea that one is at liberty to meet and exchange ideas and experiences with anybody else, anywhere, at any time. That's the beauty of a secular, civil…"

Serendipity Rose replied to Angela Moore Long's discussion 'Atheism, Community & Children'"I haven't read the posts here past the first page so maybe this has been addressed already but I don't have time to read all of them so I'll just go ahead and post this.

Angela Moore Long replied to Janelle Campbell's discussion 'Losing friends over atheism.' in the group Parenting Hellions"Fred - I often tick other non believers off. I'm a free thinker , which led me to non religious and non theistic belief- however I'm not finished. I don't cease to think or dogmatically defend Atheism - sometimes I…"
Angela Moore Long replied to Janelle Campbell's discussion 'Losing friends over atheism.' in the group Parenting Hellions"Janelle , I miss the community as well... It was a great comfort in my life. Yes, it's ok to miss the bonds... The 'good' stuff. Perhaps one day our children will have this experience, but not through religion."
Angela Moore Long replied to Janelle Campbell's discussion 'Losing friends over atheism.' in the group Parenting Hellions"Yes. I think mothers often feel the sting more - women are more emotional on average. Dads do in their own way - they hurt seeing us hurt. In my new 'outted' status ( which was many, many years ago), my first two children went…"
Jean Marie replied to Angela Moore Long's discussion 'Atheism, Community & Children'"//"I started a support group here in my hometown because there was a need. I've been fulfilled and enriched by it, I think you should consider starting your own group. They aren't there because no one bothered to get it…"

Angela Moore Long replied to Angela Moore Long's discussion 'Atheism, Community & Children'"I def have tried - the problem is , is that most are interested in low key educational enriched activity - such as library or social drinking meet ups. There are some suggesting opening centers for family enrichment that are similar to…"

First and foremost - I'm a free thinker, above that of Atheist. The greatest disrespect a person can do to that understanding - is to stop thinking and to treat it as a perfection or the end of the search. Atheism is not perfection or without blemish, and is deserving of challenge and deep introspection. When we stop questioning the validity of our own claims, defend through irrationality or by bypassing the core of topic - to instead promote our disbelief and the 'greatness' of Atheism - we…See More
Angela Moore Long replied to Angela Moore Long's discussion 'Atheism, Community & Children'"This would by why I discontinued discussion - when one surrenders a free mind to adhere to a ideology , they no longer are of relevance. I'm a free thinker - which led me to Atheism. However being atheist does not call for my defense…"
Janelle Campbell replied to Angela Moore Long's discussion 'Atheism, Community & Children'"Angela, early in my atheism I attended a few services at the UU church and found them extremely welcoming and accepting of atheism.
