My mom did this before I stopped talking to her for unrelated reasons.
I view it as unnecessary, and purposeful. Most adults understand how to separate proselytizing from normal mention of background activity. E.g., "I was at church the other night" vs "I prayed for X and the Lord delivers!"
I'm supposed to believe that she really doesn't understand the difference? Or is it more likely that she doesn't respect my beliefs (lack thereof) and is micro aggressing?
Any questions about why I don't really want her around my kids?
I love my mom; I really do. But it's frustrating that she KNOWS I'm atheist, and yet persists in saying she's "praying for me" for any situation, or fits church into nearly every conversation. And most of the time it's in text embedded in a post that has other stuff I don't want to lose, so I can't simply delete it from my side.

The National Day of Reason is a secular celebration for humanists, atheists, secularists, and freethinkers.
Schleswig-Holstein kürzt Schulunterricht – aber nicht in Religion
wenn der Glaube an unsichtbare magische Wesen wichtiger ist als der Unterricht in sozialwissenschaftlichen Fächern dann sieht man gleich wo die Prioritäten der C-Partei liegen.

AOC calls out fake #Christian #hypocrites
So an #introduction is in order!
I'm a #nonbinary #pansexual that does not care about #pronouns. I legitimately could care less what people call me. I have enough #anxiety and #depression in my life as it is, I have to stick to what I actually care about.
I was a child indoctrinated into my parent's church where I somehow focused on the aspects that God would love everyone and we should do the same, that all the other teachings didn't really stick. Thankful for that every day. I'm now happily an #atheist that knows that I don't have to follow a religion to not be a shit person.
Due to the #indoctrination, I am still very much learning and trying to be comfortable with discovering myself. I've been taking baby steps into figuring out what I would actually label myself as, so things could possibly be changing in the future.
I have 2 kids that I am raising to be empathetic and care about others and trying to help out those that are in worse situations than we are. I hope I'm doing it right, but only time will tell.
I'm also a big hobbyist that enjoys #knitting #sewing #hiking #reading #crossstitch #embroidery #crocheting and really anything else that just piques my interest. I am also working on trying to build up my #community and help those in my area that need it. I am also an adamant supporter of my local #library!
I'm really glad to be here in this space where I don't have to worry about being perceived a certain way. Thank you for letting me join!
I think deconstructing christianity and turning it into something less destructive is over all a positive thing. But the good things in the bible aren't unique to christianity and in my opinion if you have to wade through so much shit just to get there you might as well find a different pond.
I deconstructed for years until I realized there was nothing left of the source material. It was all me and my own moral compass with bits and bobs of wisdom from various sources. That gave me a mental breakdown about how morals work.
You can save yourself a headache by just acknowledging from the start that it's okay to reach a point where you say "you know what? this isn't working. this isn't worth it. there are other things out there that do this better. i feel like i'm trying to grasp smoke." It's okay to reach a point where you let go, and let yourself go do something else with your time. #atheist #atheism
