>Put forth the same level of desperate effort that it would take for a theist to reject their religion.
Because if you aren’t trying that hard, then—for all you know—your head could be stuffed full of nonsense as bad as religion.
I don’t think it was particularly hard for me to part ways with religion? 15 year old me just accumulated to much sense that it’s a total bullshit. It was important enough to be promoted to my direct attention, but wrong enough for me to recognize it as such.
Hmmm. Maybe I was just not that invested in the boons that religious worldview gives you. That there is somebody who is looking out for you, that everything goes according to good plan after all. I was not emotionally attached to this for some reason.
Am I just emotionally invested in different kinds of stuff or am I just good at discarding wrong beliefs? Or maybe there is something wrong with the “emotional attachment” part of me.
