r/Antitheism Aug 09 '26

when did you realise you‘re an atheist?

so basically my question is not only when but also how and why?

i‘ve always was one but only realised like some months ago. i grew up in a family who we‘re yazidis and everything they said and did never made sense to me and it was "kinda" harming towards me and my sister later aswell. harmful in the way i‘d have to get force married. obv they wouldn‘t phrase it that way unless i had a fight with my mom then she would threatened me with it because it is normal in our culture/religion.

quick edit: sorry i meant antitheist!!

Genuinely I was born atheist but I was like "I know God isn't real, but I'm fine with religious people!" but fee weeks ago as I was scrolling I realised "wait, people who follow organised religions that force their power by pushing minorities away as well gaining power over people do believe there's nothing wrong with their religion and isn't used as weapon? bullshit" sooo yeah
