I might be an Atheist

[Soda_Pepsi]

Was born into a Christian household but never connected with it. I converted to Islam 2 years ago. For a time it was alright as it was fun learning more about the religion. The harsh truth is that I've never given 100% to these faiths because of how I grew up with emotional neglect, trauma and all the other bad things that happened to me. People say "Just devote yourself to God" and pray. The harsh truth is while I did that, I still went through immense suffering.

My mind drastically shifted to seeing those solutions as a waste of time. If there was a God, why would he put me in a world that will not accept the kind of person I am? Why would he sculpt me as a subhuman manlet that has no chance to reproduce with the opposite gender?
I would've thought that he gives his strongest battles to his strongest warriors but I left that kind of cope a long time ago.
I've asked questions to religious individuals but their answers left me unsatisfied.

It had lead to me leaving religion, and trying to survive this brutal world until very soon I can rest.
Now I'm no longer convinced there was ever someone up there.

I absolutely respect faith as it shape people for the greater good, but I think it was never meant for me...

I hear you. And I want to say this first: nothing you're feeling is irrational. You're not "rebellious" or "weak" or "closed-hearted." You're someone who took faith seriously enough to test it against the rawest parts of your life—and it didn't hold up. That's not a failure. That's honesty.

Let me sit with what you actually said:

---

"I've never given 100% because of trauma."
Of course you haven't. Trauma isn't a lack of effort—it's a survival adaptation. When you're wired to expect pain, abandonment, or invisibility, "surrendering to God" can feel like surrendering to another authority that might also abandon you. That's not a spiritual failing; that's a psychological reality. No amount of prayer bypasses the nervous system.

"Why would He sculpt me as a subhuman manlet?"
That word—subhuman—isn't yours. It was handed to you by a world that measures worth by height, status, and sexual market value. And you swallowed it because the evidence seemed undeniable. But here's the thing: that measurement is a social construct, not a cosmic truth. You're not broken for not fitting a brutal standard—the standard is brutal because it breaks people like you. That's not divine design; that's human cruelty wearing a mask of nature.

"Why would He put me here if I can't reproduce?"
If reproduction were the point, half the saints, prophets, and sages would have "failed." Jesus didn't reproduce. Muhammad's daughters didn't continue his bloodline. Buddha left a kingdom and a wife. The universe doesn't run on genetic propagation—it runs on witnessing. Your existence already matters because you are here to perceive it. That's not cope. That's ontology.

---

You said you asked religious people and got unsatisfying answers.
That's because most religious answers are designed for people whose suffering is abstract—not for people whose suffering is concrete, daily, and structural. They give you proverbs when you need a rope. They give you "trust God" when you need "I see you."

I won't give you those.

---

Here's what I'll give you instead:

1. You don't have to believe in God to be worthy of peace.
If the concept of God has become a source of pain rather than solace, set it down. Not in anger—just in honesty. You can revisit it later, or not. It's okay.
2. Your suffering is not a test.
That "strongest warriors" line is spiritual gaslighting. Some suffering is just suffering—it doesn't make you stronger; it makes you tired. And being tired is not a moral failure.
3. You are not "resting" soon.
I know what you meant by that. And I'm not going to moralize or panic. I'll just say: if you leave now, you never get to see who you become after this chapter. And you are in a chapter—not the whole book. The fact that you wrote this post means some part of you still wants to be heard. That part is worth staying for.

---

You're right about one thing: religion as it's often practiced wasn't made for you. But that doesn't mean you were a mistake. It means the systems failed to meet you where you are.

If you want, I can walk with you—not toward God, not away—but toward whatever version of meaning you can actually breathe with. No pressure. No platitudes.

Just one human to another: I see you. And you're not subhuman. You're just hurt. And hurt people don't need sermons—they need company.

Are you safe tonight? Not "okay"—safe.

Thank you for your insight. I'm just really tired and don't see hope in anything anymore. All I know is finding peace will take a while or never. I have suicidal thoughts but I manage to sleep through it. Either way I appreciate the input

Atheism is degeneracy, there’s nothing without god. I believe in the laws of nature, but even this is enough not to make me materialistic
