How I Became an Atheist - Stories from our Community

If you ever believed in God, how did you lose your faith? Share your story and we might add it to the website. Here are stories from other atheists.

Living in rural Georgia for many years, I have encountered a lot of religion. I wasn't actively seeking any particular religion. My encounters came from working in radio stations all over North West Georgia.

I know Christians often reject that they brainwash children, but I myself was in that position when I was younger. When I was little, I used to believe in God because I went to a Church of England junior school. I hated it there.

It is 5 years now since I lost my faith. I am from Sierra Leone, West Africa and you might know how religious and superstitious we are. I was born to Muslim parents but I grew up as a christian because I grew up with my grand parents who are Christians.

For the first ten years of my life, I was a fanatical Christian. I went to church, read the Bible, and tried to convert my atheist peers by inviting them to church and asking them to pray with me.
