Hello! It is I, your local atheist.
I attended Catholic school for the majority of my childhood, and the schools were abusive. I still have affection for Catholic imagery. (I often jokingly refer to myself as a cultural Catholic; I reject Catholic dogma, but oooooh pretty candles!) However, the Church was hurting me, so I decided that I could no longer be a part of it. This, coupled with the fact that I always knew deep down that God and the afterlife weren’t real (I just tried to ignore that knowledge), eventually led me to atheism.
