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.

I wonder if anyone who's gone from faith to non-faith has done it relatively easily? I ask because, for me, it's not really been that tumultuous. I guess it has a lot to do with my upbringing. Despite my family being really religious, it has also…Continue

One thing I have noticed is a tendency to "doubt" my new path in life. I still want to reach for the Bible sometimes. I still hesitate somewhat when someone mentions Pascal's "Wager"...LOL! Even though I know that science teaches this and that no…Continue

I'm guessing many here walked away from one religion or another. What religion did you walk away from? Did you look at other religions, if so what ones? What made you settle on Atheism?Continue

I was adopted into a fundamentalist Seventh Day Adventist pastor's family. My parents loved me and I enjoyed a happy and secure childhood. Although I felt disappointed that I couldn't take dancing lessons, be involved with local theater or…Continue

Comment by Jennifer Kaufman on May 5, 2012 at 9:05pm writing a book is great, but if we are all contributing essays, are you willing to share the proceeds?
Comment by Selina Mannion on May 5, 2012 at 10:42am I would like a 10- 15 page story of how you have seen the light and recovered from relgion. I am a former muslim and my story will be included in the book I am writing. I want one story from each religion

It consists of FREE films, books, videos, links, etc. for those who need a help and support recovering from religion. Go to http://www.charliescrusade.org.
Comment by Nathan Stankowski on April 2, 2012 at 7:06pm Hello RfR. I feel that I've recovered quite well and wanted to give back to the community. So I'm going to hang around in case someone want's to talk... talking it out is the best medicine. :)
Comment by Deanna Joy Lyons on March 27, 2012 at 6:36pm I guess it would be a smart idea for me to remember to post the latest podcast episodes here so they are easy for people to find. :) http://livingafterfaith.blogspot.com/2012/03/atheist-preachers-yes-...

Comment by Darrel Ray on March 21, 2012 at 10:25pm You shouldn't have any trouble finding us. We will also be wearing RR T-shirts and hats.

Comment by Sarah Morehead on March 15, 2012 at 11:25pm Hi everyone! I'm Sarah Morehead, and in addition to this great community resource here at AN, Jerry and I would also like to encourage everyone to get connected to a local RR group in your area if you are at all able to do so. If you don't have an RR group in your area, it is very easy to start one, and we help every step of the way with personal support as well as connecting you to the entire network of RR facilitators.
Also, for anyone heading to the Reason Rally next weekend, or the American Atheist National Convention, please make sure to stop by the RR table and say hi! We truly enjoy meeting everyone, hearing your stories, and learning from your valuable experiences.
If you can't make it to DC next weekend, you can always contact us at admin@recoveringfromreligion.org, or on Facebook or Twitter. As busy as we are right now, we do see the comments posted here and we're thrilled such a supportive community has come together.
Thanks for being you!
~Sarah
