I don’t know how I did it but after and education by nuns, Christian brothers, catholic priests in a boarding school the last trace of the burden of religion is gone thanks to Richard Dawkins. I was that bad that I remember clearly when a nun asked everyone in class in grade 2 (now in my 50’s)...
I was brought up as a catholic although my dad is a lot more religious than my mum (who has never really brought into it) so I had a mixed influence. I did go to a catholic school and it was a good school on the whole.
I loved drawing angels and decorating them in glitter and the like as a...
I just wanted to share how much you've genuinely impacted me in the past couple of weeks.
I'm a sixteen-year-old girl living in the "Bible Belt" of the United States, which inevitably means that Christianity is around every corner. I was born a Jehovah's Witness, but even with my few years of...
First of all, thank you for giving such a patient, passionate voice to so many of the concerns I have long had with religious belief. I can't simply say that you converted me because I had been questioning the validity of the religion into which I was born and raised for as long as I could...
It is Christmas morning in Australia as I write this, my family hasn't woken yet and I'm excitedly awaiting their greetings so that we might sit down and ogle at the gifts we're giving each other. My younger brother, who has Asperger's syndrome as I do, will be getting from me The Magic of...
After the very sad demise of Christopher Hitchens, I feel compelled to write. I have seen and read some of the rantings from the “Christies” and have been appalled at what they say. Religion has clearly shown itself for what it really is petulant, infantile, shrieking, selfish, arrogant...........
I came out to my family today about my rejection of religion. I am a nineteen-year-old who was raised protestant. My father strongly believes in Christianity while my mother has slowly become an athiest over the past several years, as have I. Even when I was much younger I recognized that there...
I have struggled with religion for as long as i can remember. My earliest memory is when I was about six or seven and I told my jamaican grandmother that I didn't believe in jesus or god. I got the beating of my life and was forced to go to church with her on Sunday's for about a good year or so....
today I've lost my religion in the formal (legal/ German) way (after being an atheist because of all your encourging and inspiring work since "The God Delusion"):
Since 10h on Mon., 19.12.2011 I'm officially OUT - of the protestant church of germany!!!
I dedicate this liberating step to...
I would like to thank you for writing your book "the god delusion" for inspiring me to become open minded and question my religious beliefs. Years after becoming an atheist I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder which is similar to schizophrenia except with a mood disorder. Yes my life has...
I probably knew quite young religion was all a load of rubbish when I skipped RE at school. It was because Dad was Jewish mum was C of E so when I was asked at school what religion I said none! I have never, since then, heard a coherent argument for any religion, so I drifted along maybe...
My name is Austin Chapman and for years I was a closet Atheist.
My parents were devout believers in the Christian faith, so when it came time to enroll me in school they chose private Christian education. The school I attended was called Grace Christian School, and their institution educated...
