I am new and saying Hi!

Post by woohoousername »

Hi, my name is Keelan and I'm brand new here. I was, and still am being raised in Catholic surroundings in Northern Ireland of all places. I turned my back on religion a year to the day and have not looked back once and I certainly don't feel I'm at risk of eternal torment. Well, that's that. Let's see how this goes

Hey!
Are you being raised vegetarian, or did you make the change for your own reasons?

Hi Keelan, welcome to the forum!

Are you going to Catholic school?

Are you out of the closet as an atheist yet, or laying low?

To answer your questions. I became a vegetarian of my own accord. I told my mum about my atheism she didn't like it but she accepted it. Yes I go to a Catholic school. My mum and friends know I'm an atheist, but everyone else (including my devout Christian dad) don't know
