- made me realize that the tidal wave of Atheism was rising, and that it was OK for me to "Come out" as an Atheist to my friends and family, despite the consequences. Even further helped me remove myself from the crutch of "agnosticism" and realize that provisionally accepting that God does not exist is the right way to go
