Faces of Atheists

There are countless loving, genuine, compassionate atheists making positive differences in this world. We exist, we are human beings, we are Godless, and we are full of compassion and love. This Tumblr exists to showcase and celebrate these individuals; to put faces to the title "Atheist" and help break down stereotypes. Faces have been shared here since February 2012. Thank you for your participation.facesofatheists.tumblr.com/submit

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.

I’m Hannah, I was raised Christian and indoctrinated from day one into a horrible private religious school.

I left my religion after I took my first college biology course. I’m now an atheist and proud!

I'm David. I was born in London, England and moved to Canada when I was four. Raised Anglican and singing in the church choir, I became an atheist at about 12. I post frequently to my anti-theist blog helping other atheists to understand rational thought and the sheer silliness and detrimental effect of religion.

D. L. Peter from Valley City, ND. I’ve been an atheist for about 3 years now and have never felt happier. There’s no longer this dread feeling of what comes after. There’s obviously still the daily struggle that everyone faces anyway. But theres a peace I feel knowing that I have right now. My anxiety has gone down, my creativity has flourished, and my desire to be a part of the world has come to the front of my mind. I’m glad pages like this exist for the purpose of sharing ideas and wonderful discoveries. Thank you

Chris, 25 year old atheist from eastern NC. Ex-christian. Acknowledging and exploring my questions about what I believed led me to realize that most of what I had heard my whole life directly conflicted with my morals. Escaping indoctrination was like having a burden lifted from my shoulders. Even though some people treat me differently now, and not for the better, I am much happier with who I am as a person.
