Mo Taylor-Boggan
Name: Mo Taylor-Boggan Location: Beaumont, TX Organization affiliation: Golden Triangle Freethinkers Organization Label: Atheist Former Religious Affiliation: Protestant Christian (Baptist) With Reason: One Woman’s Journey to Atheism I was reading an article the other night and the topic was about how Christians, or even those of other faiths, always have an “aha” moment that is usually very emotional, but as atheists, typically our metamorphosis usually isn’t quite that simple.

NAME: Kevin R. “Vin” Rohm BORN: 1955 LOCATION: Milton, WA ORGANIZATION AFFILIATION: MAAF, AA. LABEL: Atheist FORMER AFFILIATION: Missouri Mormon (RLDS) MY STORY: Mom was a very religious woman.

Name: Cody Robinson DOB: 1985 Location: Denver, CO Label: Atheist Former Religious Affiliation: Protestant Christian (Non-Denominational) My Story: I was raised Christian and, at times, felt like I was the most devout person in my immediate family. Sometimes even going to church when no one else from my family would. My de-conversion happened very gradually the more I thought about it. I’m not even quite sure when it happened but it was sometime in high school. My doubts started happening the more I actually learned about religious history. I just couldn’t comprehend...
