Ex-Christian Apologizes: I Believed Hurtful, Irrational, Stupid Things

Most freethinkers in America usually arrive at this point in their lives only after having been involved on some level with religion. Quite often, they come from the most fundamentalist and extreme perspectives, gradually coming to experience a personal widening of their own views as they explore the world of ideas that run counter to the dogma they've been taught until they can no longer even pretend to believe their religious "truth." I'm sure that most look back at their participation with some regret, usually either quietly leaving their religion behind or trading it in for some other, more believable, faith tradition. While they may regret the things they said or did while "under the influence" of religion, few take the time to apologize to those who may have been harmed. Yet that's exactly what at least one "former Christian" has done in this public apology for her past religious beliefs.
