If you're ready to drop faith in God and Christianity, you should also spend some time considering how the religion has shaped your personal morals and the way we conduct day to day life altogether. If God is nonexistent and the entire religion is a sham, how can you justifiably accept the moral structure the church has put in place too without question? You shouldn't, and you should be non-apologetic in doing so. In the end, whether you believe in God or not, you're still the product of Christianity. So it's something to consider if you really want to break down the entire God deception....
Well said.
I'd also add that if it weren't for the judeo-Christian society you live in, you wouldn't be able to espouse your atheism without being killed.
Much like the protection afforded to liberals and peace nics from conservative warmongers.
