  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Makes sense. It's hard to really rally around something you aren't interested in. It's a lack of belief, after all. Though some kind of religious trauma support group would have definitely been valuable to me in the deep South.

some kind of religious trauma support group

I have been a part of maybe 3 different groups (it's been a while) and used to attend some regularly. That was pretty much it for us--a support group where people shared how they were raised and how they came to leave their religion.

I also met with FFRF people a couple of times--once to join a "walk" to raise funds for a cause that had nothing to do with religion or atheism, and another to help erect a solstice/reason sign for the holidays.

I agree there are some weirdos, but it sounds like OP just happened to join a particularly odd group.

That's exactly it, these people are still suffering from the trauma inflicted upon them

The other side of the coin, in my opinion, is that you actually have to heal from that, you cannot just spend the rest of your life ranting and raving

I grew up in an insane religious cult so I feel this all lol
