When I was a Christian, I was what you would expect. I thought evolution wasn't real. I thought God exists because the bible said so. I thought we were created by God in the garden of Еden with Adam and Eve. I thought atheists were immoral people who only didn't believe in God "so they could sin," and/or that they didn't believe in anything at all. I thought аbоrtiоn was murder because every fеtus has a soul. I believed Jesus would come during MY lifetime to take me and all my Christian brethren to heaven to let everyone else rot.

I was one of those Christians who would argue on Yоutubе with people, saying God is real because the bible says so, and that they couldn't disprove God, etc.
It was only through being mocked that I was angry enough to try and prove those I debated with that they were wrong. It caused me to look at what I believed. It caused me to do my own research on evolution, the philosophical arguments against God, and all the damage/harm religion causes. I eventually found Rеddit through a friend, noticed places like /r/atheism, and it reinforced everything I was learning about the inconsistencies of my beliefs.

It may sound silly, but all the memes and quotes were a major factor in my conversion. Scumbag Christian, Religion Pigeon, Advice God, and Scumbag God may be memes, but the message they delivered really hit home. They are expressions of ideas that happen to be used in a recognizable way through a noticeable image macro.

Thanks for reading.

I'm in between Catholic and an Atheist. The sad thing is I go to a Catholic school which forces you to go to mass every Thursday.

tl;dr: I was a bad Christian who denied evolution and was pro-life, so on, so on. One day I decided to argue with Youtubers about my religion. I started to look into evolution. Then I found /r/atheism that made me an atheist.

That you are looking at the facts and inconsistencies is fine


But don't let names that make fun of religious people cause you to change your belief

Uh well all my friends would be gone. Plus I love my school.

I just can't believe in God anymore because it's just too hard.

Oh, and if anyone didn't know, the moderators have totally changed /r/atheism. Now all you can submit is text, no links or pictures. Everyone is not happy with this. Some are boycotting. Some are making threads about how stupid their decision was. I will miss /r/atheism. It was a good place and help me become what I am today.

People can change their beliefs for whatever reason they want.

Actually, it is the most reasonable thing to revert into an atheist. It doesn't matter if you had a "bad" reason to become one. Say you become really good at evolution and you ace your evolution test at school. But you learned about this on /r/atheism. Does it even matter where you learned it? You aced it, you should be proud, and you shouldn't worry about how you mastered it.

what part of that doesn't make sense to you

actions have consequences
