I was raised a Catholic and had gone to a Catholic school for my elementary and middle school years. But I've recently became an agnostic atheist - and it's not because of influence.

My mother tried to raise me as part of the Lutheran church. I couldn't see eye-to-eye with the Christian religion due their treatment of the LGBT community (as I am bisexual and got so much hate for it from others) so I split from it a few years ago and went on to becoming a neo-pagan that worships the Norse gods.

That is true, and one of these examples is this article I've read about British women converting to Islam: www.theguardian.com/world/2013…

  The stamp is lovely and even better than I envisioned.  Thank you, 8manderz8!  As someone who still believes in a God but does not feel comfortable defining herself as Christian anymore, I find it awkward entering ex-Christian spaces sometimes because it is assumed that giving up Christianity means becoming an atheist.  Admitting to some form of spirituality feels inappropriate in such environments, so I feel it is useful to remind everyone (myself included, since even I sometimes jump to this assumption) that ex-Christian does not necessarily mean atheist.

Not a problem at all! I'm glad that you liked it. I definitely enjoyed making it!

As a "Christian Universalist" (for lack of better term... I don't agree with all other Christian Universalists) and not going to any church or belonging to any group, I can definitely understand being uncomfortable talking to anyone I don't know very well about what I believe.

EternalGeekExposed In reply to albino-orca [2013-10-25 13:21:07 +0000 UTC]

Yes, there's so much judgmental attitudes surrounding anything to do with religion or lack thereof it seems.

Also, my boyfriend is an atheist. Doesn't bother me a bit.

And naturally, the reverse is true - Not all ex-_________ are ________, they may be Christians.


Many ex-atheists are Christians.

Indeed, although in my country, the assumption is that ex-atheists are usually Christians and ex-Christians are usually atheists.  We tend to forget how many other possibilities they are, which is what this stamp is about.

Agnostic-humanist and spiritualist. c: (I hate the label that, just because I don't believe that a deity made us or controls our plain of existence in any way, that doesn't mean I don't believe in spirits or afterlives. There is plenty of evidence to prove the existence of ghosts, after all~)

OMG, thank you! This is the reason that I don't go to atheist groups for being ex-Christian.

MauEvig [2013-10-24 01:48:46 +0000 UTC]

OMG Thank you for this! I mean yes, technically I'm considered an atheist, but I identify more as agnostic animist and spiritualist than I do with atheist.

I'm also a little fascinated with pagan-esque beliefs, but it could be because I like the idea of there being some sort of spirituality and magic, and personally not believing in a soul or a life after death doesn't sit well with me.

There's nothing wrong with having a bunch of labels to explain what you are. I am a bunch of things - I'm an agnostic, an atheist, a secular humanist, a feminist, a skeptic, etc etc etc. Some view labels as a hindrance, but labels are just a basic way of how we form opinions about others' positions on things.

Limnoria [2013-10-24 01:17:04 +0000 UTC]

Secular Humanist!

But honestly, the point in the stamp I like the most is that you can be Ex-Christian if you've converted to a different religion.  It's important to remember, given the connotations of the word ex-Christian!

I really liked that, too, when I was asked to do it as a commission.
