Sharon Stanley replied to LarryL's discussion When you lost your faith, did you lose any other deeply held beliefs? in the group Recovering from Religion

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

Welcome to Atheist Nexus with its 8000 good friends.
A group you may like is “ORIGINS” (Origins: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion..... ) with its 120 discussions and numerous video films.
One discussion (over 65 posts) is "Proud to be Atheist".
