"I hide it from most of my family and my mother tells me not to discuss religion with people down here in the south cuz shes scared someone will end up killing or hurting me. So I sit there and just think how ignorant people can be."

"Well, last time I talked to my grandmother, I mentioned that I was going to continue school to study philosophy. She replied that philosophy is a worldview and that she'd be praying for me. Judging by the way she responded to that, I decided…"

"I don't hide my views from anyone. I won't go and introduce myself as an atheist, but if the topic does come up I don't shy away from defending my beliefs. And most of my family know. They kinda inferred it from by behavior when I was…"

Why you left your religion.
