Hi all. So I know Tallahassee has a big faith based Christian community. Especially in the black community. I know, because I was raised in and a part of this community for many years. I kind of feel many people in the area might automatically assume someone black is a believer in some shape, form, or fashion here. However, after many years of being Christian, I had a self-honesty experience that changed my views and beliefs in it. First, let me say that I'm not here to bash or insult anyone's beliefs. I'm just sharing how Christianity (and just spiritually faith based beliefs in general) no longer works in my personal life. But with that being said, I do not regret being openly honest about my change in beliefs, but I do miss the community aspect of the belief system. I have a wife, kids, good job, and just a general good life situation, but I'm missing close friends and community. I understand it was a big jump to go from Christian to atheist after many years in the belief, but I guess I'm just trying to see if there are any other black people, couples, families that have a similar experience in the Tallahassee area. I'm not a militant atheist or anything and I'm not opposed to forging new friendships with people of faith, but there really needs to be a level of respect for my nonbelief in which I don't feel like I'm covertly being judged or a proselytizing situation. I just don't see or know of any black families that are nonbelievers/atheist in the Tallahassee area. There may not be any, but I just thought I'd ask. It's more about kind of relating on a cultural level, but with different views/beliefs on what I feel seems synonymous with black people in the area. Again, I'm not here for any negative reasons, just seeing if there are any black atheist families in the area or if people may know any. Just trying to rebuild in the area of community. Mainly looking for people in their 30s/40s. Thank you for taking the time to read.
