The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us. Buy any item on AMAZON, and we'll use the small commission to help improve critical thinking. Buy a Laptop -- Apple

Welcome aboard !
You'll find that your not alone. There are scores of Bible Belt Atheists on this particular forum (says something about the power of the Bible Belt doesn't it ? It's creating more and more Atheists, hehe).
I live in Memphis, Tennessee but was originally born and raised in New Jersey. You can imagine the difficulties that an open Yankee Atheist encounters on a pretty regular basis.
But, this place has tons of information and all the smart replies ever needed to tear any religious nutcases to shreds if they ever start any crap with you. Fear not, the next time someone says "Oh but without a god there is no morality," you'll be able to make them look like an idiot !
I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do.

pleased to meet you.
Welcome to the forum.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Hey Matt! Nice to meet you.
It's great to talk to like-minded people, indeed. A lot of my friends are christians, so it's kind of hard to talk about anything that isn't every-day stuff, because they have to start talking about God and everything, while I don't really care.
Although I did introduce the term religious existentialism, recently
Hey Matt, welcome.
Everything makes more sense now that I've stopped believing.
G'day Matt, I'm from Australia, a part of it that once was compared to the Bible Belt of the US, altho not quite that bad. But we got over it, or least finally kicked out the somewhat fundy State political leader who was making us the butt of jokes in the rest of the country.

The path to Truth lies via careful study of reality, not the dreams of our fallible minds - me
