Bamboozle,
I think you missed the post where I said this?:
"I did the same. Joined a church and for a year was quite involved with it. All the while, just growing as an Atheist. I tried a few of them. I had to go through religion to come out of it. To have a concrete foundation for my own belief.
I needed to annihilate some doubts. Just as Christians or other God centered folks do. does."
