Thanks.

Growing up in the cult didn’t make me lose my faith. I was religious for 3-4 years after I left it. Still a believer almost 6 years after I left. My easiest explanation for this, (I’ve had the same thing said to me many times) is pretty simple. The same thing that led me to leave the cult led me to where I am now.

I have an ever curious mind and spent a decade or more learning everything I could about every religion out there. That journey led me to science and atheism. This made the most sense to me and left me feeling the best. It’s ultimately what has stuck.
