Baptist
The Amiable Atheist
(Via Amiable) I was raised religious. My mother was Baptist, and my father was Seventh Day Adventist. When I was young, we moved a few times, so we were always sampling different churches in the area to find the right fit. I went to Calvary Chapel, Episcopalian, Evangelical Free, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Latter Day Saint, [...]
The testimonial of an atheist geek…
(Via Rocky Oliver) I have been an “out of the closet”, publicly avowed atheist for many years. But I didn’t start that way. Being Southern I was raised, as most people are down here, as an evangelical Christian – my particular flavor was Southern Baptist. I even attended a Christian school for 2.5 years (middle [...]
Cris’ Story
(Via Cris) Unlike most of the stories I’ve read through here, I actually enjoyed going to church. I was brought up since I was a baby in church. God existed. I went up to the alter to get saved during vacation Bible school at about the age of 9-10. I was baptized in an Assembly [...]
Steve’s Story
(Via Steve) I can’t really say that I’ve been an atheist my entire life, but I don’t think I was ever a genuine believer. My parents both come from a southern baptist background, but we never went to church regularly when I was growing up. I’m pretty sure that all of my parents’ siblings and [...]

My Mother, I suppose due to her upbringing in North Carolina, had some screwy notions about Sunday, however. She had a standing rule, in fact, that we could not go out and play [...]
Giovanna Marchese’s Story
(Via Giovanna Marchese) I was always a very religious person. I was born into a Sicilian-Catholic family. I went to Catholic school and was the kid that always had questions on religion because so much of it didn’t make sense. But I was brainwashed very well and bought into it 100%. Then the teen years [...]
Jesus [#1]‘s Story
(ViA Jesus [#1]) Well, I went to Catholic school all my life. My mom is a Catholic born and raised, and my dad is now Baptist. Ever since I was little I had questions but the only answers my parents could give me was that part of having faith was to accept things for what [...]
Star Umbehant’s Story
(Via Star Umbehant – Rational Atheist) A Christian friend of mine recently asked, “What led you to your current beliefs?” Here I will try to describe the evolution from my Christian childhood to my current state of atheism. I can’t, of course, cover everything – but I will attempt to touch on the most important [...]
