Anti-theist

Somebody who comes to the sudden realization that they can count the number of wars and genocides that HAVEN’T been caused by religion on one hand, and that maybe mass indoctrination isn’t such a good idea. Cannot stress enough that anti-theists don’t hate people who are religious, they hate the way religions control people from a very young age and how they threaten people with a nonexistent threat if they don’t do as they are told.

All my life I was raised in a Christian household, I was a good follower, I never questioned anything. But the more I thought about it, the more I came to the realization that religion is completely illogical and just doesn’t make sense. I tried to tell my family that I was an atheist, and my dad beat me within an inch of my life. After that I decided that anything that would influence someone to beat their child almost to death in the name of a nonexistent being can’t be just ignored, it needs to be stopped. It was then I became an anti-theist.
