I may not be a “full on” anti-theist but I wish it was more normalized and less controversial to simply be against what a book says because it supports harmful beliefs and mindsets. I don’t care what religion or spiritual beliefs people practice as long as they aren’t harmful, bigoted, or oppressive. I’ll fight for your right to practice your beliefs but that doesn’t mean I support everything your book says.

A toast to all us conservative religious raised queers who grew apart from our childhood friends because we found ourselves while they found shelter in the conservative dogma they were raised in and never grew out of

The fact that as a kid I was literally taught the mantra “you get them with love before teaching them the law” , and I thought it was a brilliant social observation that would save peoples souls and not. Basic cult indoctrination. They were literally teaching me at twelve years old how to recruit people and I was eating it up. That’s terrifying for me now

Deconstruction feels like I was in a shitty house, noticed it was shitty, ripped it all down, and now I’m homeless and cold. And like yes, I can see the stars better but that doesn’t help me feel safe or comfortable. Does it ever get better than this? It’s been like 1-3 yrs (can’t tell exactly when I officially renounced the faith.)

I would generally say that I'm antitheist; I don't agree with religions and religious ideas (at least the ones that i'm usually encountering) and I think people shouldn't hold these ideas. But I don't hate religious people, like I see so often in antitheist communities. I don't believe any of these religious people is fully at fault. I think they're all victims on some level. Letting go of what you believe is a really hard thing to do, especially if it's what was in your schooling, what your friends believe in, what your parents believed in, what your president believes in, what your church believes in, if it's what you've mistakenly tied your self worth to.

Some people are less victims than others, of course. As you get older, you're more responsible for your beliefs and actions, especially if you're actively spreading them. But in an ideal world, these people would've been born in better homes to better communities, in a better culture, and when they encountered these ideas they would've seen them for what they are.

So many of us antitheists were theists once and you need to try and be the person that you needed then, the person that you wish could've been there.
