The World's Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!
Greetings to All
My name is Robert Affinis; a new guy on the block. I have just joined Atheist Nexus two days ago and I have to say: I love the set up of communication here along with the various groups for membership.
As for a brief synopsis of me; first and foremost, I am an atheist. Although I do not degrade the beliefs of others, I exemplify the folly of theistic conceptualization. I have been a Christian before, walked and conversed with bishops and you know what; it's real ugly behind close doors. Most of them do not really believe themselves; however, the collection plate is little much to pass up; if you catch my drift. I call these individuals who incur these theistic facades as Constantinian Christians (Emperor Constantine was never a Christian in his lifetime; however, purported this belief to sustain his kingdom from civil war; he remained a high priest of the sol invictus cult until death).
I am a single male and a proud father of two gorgeous girls. Currently, I am majoring in Industrial psychology and started an apparel line for freethinkers entitled AFFINIS. I currently reside in Phoenix, AZ where I defend the right to separate from all forms of religiosity.
I also have another blog where I write some intense stuff
I always say think; it's not illegal yet! Thanks for having me.

Welcome!
I'm new here myself!
I checked out your apparel and one of the shirts really caught me.
I'm definitely looking forward to sporting that on stage!

Recovering from Religion
Unless you were raised by atheist parents, you probably had some recovering to do when you left religion. The purpose of RR is to provide a landing place for people when they jump from religion. With local support groups throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and real-time resources accessible to everyone, RR is where to turn when faith has lost its luster.See More
