Always a kneejerk atheist and adamant introvert, I'm warming to this viewpoint. A welcoming, value-based community (religious or not) that you consistently show up to seems so valuable--I've seen how well it works for others. And I believe it will become increasingly so as we become increasingly individualistic and isolated.
I've followed the faithless, lone wolf way of life for some time now. But is that really working for me? I have my doubts. Thanks for sharing your experience.

- SeeDave 9y agoNothing wrong with being an atheist or an introvert, those are totally legitimate beliefs and personality types. Faith totally worked for me, and might work for you or anyone else too. I didn't include my specific beliefs and community because it may not be for everyone, but if you can get similar benefits (community, hope, belonging, volunteering) from any other positive place then more power to you! Life is an interesting journey, and I hope you can live it to its fullest :)
