Ken McNutt II
Name: Ken McNutt II Born: 1967 Location: Sugar Hill , GA Label: Atheist (the absence of the belief in God purely based upon the lack of evidence) Former Religious Affiliation: Various Christian denominations (mostly Catholic) My Story: My first religious memories are of going to Sunday School at a Lutheran church a half block away from my home in Detroit when I was six years old. There was no reason to doubt any of the stories from the Bible that I was told. Why would they lie? At that age, it seemed possible that God could read every thought I had or that a man...

As far back as I can remember, I remember thinking there was something wrong with me because no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t believe in god. I remember thinking that this idea of the Judeo-Christian god made no sense at all. But I was afraid to...

Name: Nick Fawcett Born: 1983 Location: New Hampshire, USA Member: National Atheist Party, Advocate of Atheist Worldview Philosopher My Story I can proudly say that I have been an atheist my whole life. I occasionally entertained the idea of god when I was younger, especially when I felt alone, and frail, and was scared of existence. I always understood my contemplation of a god as having been predicated on the fear and uncertainty inherent to childhood and adolescence. As I contemplated my own non-believing relationship with the notion of god in comparison with other people of belief it...
