@rosborne979,
Quote:A lot of the comments on that forum are very interesting. I never realized before how deeply the "social connection" context related to religious belief. Apparently the "hardest" part of leaving religion for most people isn't the loss of "god" but the disconnect from their social community.
I find that very easy to understand, living here in the bible belt. The Southern Baptist Community is pervasive. Try finding somewhere to get your children involved in soccer or basketball without baptists. I'm not complaining it was that way when I moved here. It's just uncomfortable sometimes.
