just me

I am not new to atheism, however, it did take me years to admit it as I grew up in a very conservative, traditional southern baptist home. I am 49 and didn't tell my parents until I was about 40. Now they don't talk to me, well except a text here and there. I am reaching out for some friends that I can relate to. I have discovered that atheism has isolated me from so many things...definitely not the social norm where I am! It seems to affect friendships as well as dating. I'm not one to debate....it is what it is. I can say that admitting to it was the best thing I ever did for myself, it was such of sense of freedom - something I have never experienced before. It is who I am. So, I am really hoping to make some friends.
