Welcome, Zach! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Nexus Book Club, Atheist Writers, Atheist Musicians, Atheist Guitarists And Bassists, and Politics, Economics & Religion.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.

After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

On a personal note, I've developed an animated gif technique, sort of “pull quote marries slideshow”. Samples are scattered across various groups, but you can find them easily by going to my twitter account. Each tweet has a link (after the description and before the hashtags) to a visually rich example here at Atheist Nexus. If you like them, please follow me

As a member of Young Atheists, I hope you can bring the urgency of Climate Change to their attention. The last post in that group was Oct 29th. We have a Planetary Emergency, and young people will be heavily impacted. Perhaps you'd be willing to start a discussion on David Roberts' 15 minute TED talk. I care very much that your generation actually have a future.

Information on how to start discussions is here.

Good luck in that religious school. We're here for you if you need to talk.

Hello Zach

You have had quite a mixed time, but you are the clever one in the family and among your peers. So welcome to this world of rationality and peace, where pure common sense is enough to lead to the open freethinking wisdom common to non-believers.

We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 700 discussion topics and 3600+ members.
