Not really. For me, the fact that that Christianism wasn't for me came the day before my first communion (biggest  introduction rite in catholic church) , when I had to confess. What would a 9 years old boy confess? I didn't feel guilty of anything, and my parents, as not practicant catholics, haven't convinced me since little to feel guilty of the sins of humanity, or even insisted me with the concept of sin, so I didn't felt guilty at all. 

Then I saw that if there is a God, it wasn't in that church. Since the day I took my first communion, I've never commulgate again.

@kristen yeah I've definitely felt like that... eventually though the feeling goes away once you see the beauty of the huge universe and nature and you sort of find something else to put in God's place. Idk if that made sense lol

Nope I never have felt like that, I deal by just looking for solutions to the problem or talking about it

"Ladies, a real man doesn't just open your door...

...he opens his bible."

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Before Romney spoke, that is.

Hi, folks. I have many friends who are religious and we get on great. However, when I see things like the following:

"Ladies, a real man doesn't just open your door...

...he opens his bible."

I kind of want to vomit.

I've been an atheist for around 3 years now.

I have grown up in a religious family, but I don't hate my family for being religious. In fact, I hate nobody for being religious. One thing I do hate, however, is the ideology behind religion and the huge effect that it has on the whole world! I find it ridiculous that a child with an imaginary friend is perfectly acceptable, yet when an adult mentions something of the sort it's off with the men in white coats to the insane asylum.

However, is the idea of a deity not dissimilar to that of an imaginary friend? No, it isn't. This quote sums up my opinion perfectly; 'Religion. Society's accepted mental illness.' 

A few more quotes I like;

'Fools aren't born. They are watered and grown by institutions such as Christianity' Marilyn Manson.

"If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor."
-Voltaire

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." - Steven Weinberg

Again I stress the point that I do not dislike those who are religious, just religion it's self, and also, I have become a lot happier since I became an atheist, I don't have to worry about a ghost that gets angry when I do things he says are unacceptable, and I have an extra 2 hours to do something productive on Sundays rather than sit in the shadow of a stained glass window singing and reciting out of a fictional book.

I love debating the idea of religion, simply because the argument for atheism is much, much stronger than that of religion. However, in my experiences, religious people usually come across as quite stubborn which can make debate unenjoyable. 

One good thing is, I no longer feel like a minority as an atheist. The number of atheists in this generation is rising, with a positive correlation to the amount of scientific education and the number of atheists. So, strangely, I feel a sense of pride to be part of a growing community of atheists.

I think this song sums up our collective thoughts quite well:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8jIb74ldpg
