Your Religious Status
Atheist, Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic
About Me:
I'm a math student at Oregon State University.
Age
19-24
Why are you here?
Discussions about morality, ethics, and life should not be limited to the religious. I wanna bust out discussions and connect with other non-believers who think like I do - but unfortunately Corvallis doesn't provide me with any "secular youth groups". Bummer.
The religion you left
Christian, Catholic
Why you left your religion.
Studying in college gave me a larger, brighter perspective on logic and reason. I realized I didn't need dogmas to sculpt my ethics and morals.
Think Atheist Travel Network Couch Availability - Are you able to host anyone now?

So I definitely have opinions, although it wasn't until a couple years ago that I could actually back up all my thinking.



I come from a math family - both parents are mathematicians - and so naturally this is what I'm studying in college (Oregon State University). For those who haven't been exposed to it, math is alot like philosophy: ideas are postulated, definitions are presented, then logical conclusions are drawn. This way of thinking trickled down to all areas of my life. Logic,… Continue
