I was raised as an evangelical, but became an atheist. My deconstruction happened over many years. AMA

r/

I was raised in a strict evangelical household, and my entire family are still practicing evangelicals. I am the only one who is not a Christian, but an actual atheist. Ask me anything?

    Why do you classify it a deconstruction?

    Just to confirm, as an atheist you have no spiritual beliefs? You believe life and experience doesn’t extend or transcend the material world? Are you sure it’s not a little naive to think we really understand everything about reality and the universe? 

    Thanks I’m advance

    How do people around you treat you after you became atheist?

    What was the thing that got you thinking, like, this ain’t it anymore?

    Do you ever fear you are wrong and will go to hell? I’m not suggesting this is the case, just curious about doubts.

    What events led to you slowly distancing yourself from your religion?

    What are your views on Evangelism in general & its current role in society?

    Are you sad for the lower caste members of your former religion? For me, that means women, queer folks, etc. I cannot stand being around the evangelical community for more than a moment bc of this. 😭
