 Comments for The Way Forward I am a born again Christian that used to be an atheist and Unitarian Universalist.
Atheists, humanists, agnostics are part of the UU church.

Ironically around 1997, a fellow UU told me no one ever leaves the UU church and becomes a born again Christian. I obviously do not buy into their globalist agenda overwhelming liberal politics either [not that the right wing flavor is that much better either]
I don’t think ex-atheist born again Christians are that rare. Many people raised even in false religions like Catholicism, early on do not believe in God and either become secularists or atheist/agnostics. I did not believe in God by age 10. I have heard this from now other born again Christian. Not all present day Christians were brought up in the evangelical or Baptist church systems. Many today are being brought up with no religion at all.
While UU, I studied comparative religions on my own. They are part of the landscape for the UU church. This also included reading of “free-thought” literature.
Publications I read during these days included “The Humanist, Free Inquiry, The Skeptical Inquirer and Freedom From Religion Foundation newsletters as well as writings by Paul Kurtz. [My delving into Theosophy happened too during these 12-13 years in the UU.]
Here is my testimony written in 2010 where I mention these things.
