I am a atheist who used to be a christian. I don't like religion it made my feel bad all the time about small natural impulse that hurt no one. Plus i feel more true to myself and reason. Thats what it did for me maybe other people could share thier experiences.

Never felt the need to escape. I have free will and I can comprehend this. I'm sorry, but I think if your religion makes you feel bad, then you are either a week person or you need to do some soul searching to see if it is the religion that makes you feel bad or your own conscience.

Sooo much happier and not scared of the dark stuff either. I have to admit every few months i get the 'what if i'm wrong' blues. But overall, its the best thing ever.

After I "excaped" the insanity of religion? Bah, if I'd known what I was told to believe, I'd have thrown it in their faces and burnt it.

I live a much happier life without worrying about angering some fictional deity. Plus, I know I only get one life and live it to the fullest.

To quote:
"And the question is/Was I more alive then/Than I am now/I happily have to disagree/I laugh more often now/I cry more often now/I am more me"
In me-English, yes, I'm much happier.

happiness comes from finding your true path, not from escaping anything.
are there born-again atheists? i thought it was a one-ride ticket.

myself for one ... it's been very fulfilling to progress in clear thinking without wasting time on the wild goose chases

I'm happier for me, but it has caused permanent rifts amongst my family which I find very disappointing.
