Ex-Atheist: Reason, Faith, Logic

/r/exatheist is a subreddit for ex-atheists of all walks of life to discuss, laugh, and find and give support to others who have left atheism. All too often, especially on Reddit, where the atheist voices tend to be louder, ex-atheists seem to be seen as non-existent. /r/exatheist is there to provide a counterbalance to this state, at least for the ex-atheist community on reddit, such as there is. Come one and all, and Welcome! Please read the sidebar for the rules of the subreddit.
