Leia Pearce
Name: Leia Pearce Born: 1980 Location: Midwest Label: Atheist Mother Former Religious Affiliation: Mormon (LDS) Hi! I’m Leia, and I am a mother and a wife. I love baking, sewing, needlepoint, reading, crocheting and music. I am a geek and probably always have been. Oh, and I am also an Atheist. I was raised in a Mormon household. I was the stereotypical annoying religious girl in High School. I even gave most of my friends Books of Mormon with my testimony tucked inside. I was on the straight and narrow path to marrying a return missionary in the temple and having as many...

Name: Christos Ioannidis Born: 1976 Location: Thessaloniki, Greece Organization affiliation: None Label: Atheist Former Religious Affiliation: Orthodox Christian My Story My name is Christos Ioannidis, I am 35 years old, I am married, I am lucky to have a one year old daughter. The first seeds of doubt were planted during my early school years. At that time, we were learning in the religious class how great and respected were all the characters in the Old Testament. The problem was that, apart from all these biblical figures, we were also taught about ancient Greece,...

Name: William Rayner Born: 01/02/1999 Location: UK Label: Atheist, Humanist, Buddhist Former Religious Affiliation: Christianity My Story I used to be pretty involved with Christianity- I used to pray quite often, attend church and I once went to a Christian camp for a few days, where every day we would not only pray, but have a bible study session. But the thing is- I never really believed in it. I remember saying when I was about 9 (and still a Christian) in Primary School, when we were having a debate about whether or not a God created the universe, that while I believed in God, I...

Name: Drew Schlueter Born: March 7, 1980 E-mail: dalkuvel@yahoo.com Location: Peoria, Il, USA Label: Zen practitioner, atheist, Humanist Former Religious Affiliation: Lutheran Christian My Story I was raised in a church-like environment. My father was a Lutheran and when my mom married him she converted from being a Baptist. So, being raised Lutheran, which is like being raised Catholic but with way less guilt, I did the whole Catechism thing at twelve or so. I believed it all, too. I remember feeling so connected to God at that age, to the idea that there was...

Name: Chris M. Organization affiliation: none…yet Label: Atheist, Humanist, a bit LaVeyan Satanist Former Religious Affiliation: Russian Orthodox, Catholic My Story I was baptized as a Russian Orthodox Christian. Along with my parents, I didn’t follow it too strictly but at the age of 11, I was sent to a Roman Catholic School where my beliefs opened up to a little someone named Jesus Christ. Being young at the time, I was easily brainwashed and began attending masses and praying every night, but what I never realized was the reason why my prayers never seemed to work…...

Name: Bill Reitter Email: jwreitter@verizon.net Location: Glassboro, NJ Label: Atheist I Am No Angel It will be left to others to judge if my life has been all that good. As a 71 year old atheist, I don’t feel that I am morally better than my neighbors. My friends are decent, hardworking, sober, god-fearing, patriotic people: Mostly nice folks, despite their mistaken, superstitious, supernatural worldviews. But even without God, even with all my troubles and faults, I might be just as kind, compassionate and considerate as my believing neighbors. I was not always this pleasant....
