suddenly my confidence was interpreted as pride, my knowledge was called intelletual snobbery, and my happiness was seen as hedonistic...
Did I really change that much? Or is there possibly another explanation?

Funny how that happens.
By "funny" I mean sad.

I have to admit (being an extremely faithful christian myself) we misunderstand as much as anyone else. A lot of us is too prideful to look at someone else who's genuinely confidant. I apologize for that.
I'm a christian, but i'm left-sided. I believe we should all respect each other, no matter what religion we are. I will never try to shove my religion down anyone's throats, i just live and let live. There's no reason we should be disrespectful because of difference in what we believe in our own hearts.
God bless.

I think confidence in ones own beliefs can be threatening to some people. This is true of both theist and atheist the unsure ones feel threatened by people with differing views.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there is another explanation. I like your confidence, knowledge and happiness,. Never change.

Tell the truth did anyone ever tell you that you expressed confidence or that you had obtained great knowledge or even care about your happiness? I doubt that.

Now, ask yourself this, who is interpreting all these things? Just live your life in the best way possible, and work as hard as you can. Life will work itself out.

The other explanation is, it's hard to take someone's view seriously when they appear to constantly preach about something they don't believe in.

So did you wake up one morning and said to yourself today I become an atheist? Wonder what will you be tomorrow?

How about your view interruptions of others as a persecution complex? Great deal for you now though, you get to call everyone who disagrees with you stupid... Jim

polar opposites, to believe and to not believe. it is said to become atheist, you get a better feel of reality and to become religious, you get a better grip on insanity. scientist have said a human mind can only handle 10% of reality, otherwise a mind will fall victim to insanity. but damn, we one has critics.

I did not know you before, so I can not judge you on that.
Many people who are Christians also have those things said about them.
So may be you did change.
