Hello everyone :)

First of all, I want to say that I'm new here, so I hope everything will be OK and sorry for my english, I know it's not perfect.

I'm just 20 years old, but I'm a strong atheist/humanist. And I'm french! I live near to Bordeaux, in the South of France. Anyway, as you probably already know it, France is a secular country, and there is a lot of non-religious people here, but the strong atheists are few and I can't really talk about it with my friends/family, however I won't that is difficult to be an atheist (even if I see some problem here).

If I'm here, it's only because I want to learn more about atheist people who lives in other countries all around the world, if it's difficult for them or not, if they're persecuted, oppressed, alone, or if they can be openly atheist. If you want to share your experience about it, telling the advantages or the disavantadges of being atheist in your country or in your family, I'd be happy to read it. I often read articles about it, but I think it's more interesting and more "true" when is a real person who say it. And maybe if you want to talk to me, feel free to send me a message. I'd love to talk with atheist all around the world.
