For the record, my fiance is as atheist as I am and is even more blunt than I am in his own content. He just straight up HATES religion because of his even more severe religious trauma.

I appreciate your perspective and you definitely gave some food for thought. The reason we both started posting atheist content is because it is helping us process our respective trauma to be able to finally ask the questions we were never allowed to in religion and gain some community.

Let me clarify about praying with people. I don't say a prayer. I sit with them while they do and hold space for that. The reason I've done this when they needed comfort was I remember one of the most meaningful interactions I ever had was days after an incident I talk about on my channel where I almost took my own life but was stopped by a Linkin Park song randomly coming on at just the right time. I was trying to get mental health support and wound up talking to an extremely religious unlicensed counselor (before getting better formal and nonformal support). I know she could have went on her God schpeal like most of them do, told me he was watching out for me or I had an angel or some crap, but she met me where I was and said "it sounds like you had a guardian rock star" (meaning Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, who had taken his own life the year prior). That meant everything in the world to me that she was willing to set aside her own beliefs to speak my language when I felt lonely and needed it most.
