    If you mean I became happier once I stopped the religious based self loathing, then I count.

    If you mean it was happy times so I switched to atheism, I guess one of the main things that helped me realize some bullshit was watching Futurama, one of my favorite shows, so that could probably be considered happy too?

        It was A Clockwork Origin. Despite being religious at the time I was always into science, but I stuck more to space, physics, chemical stuff and bought into some of the claims that used how supposedly little chance Earth could be so perfect for life. Like an uncomfortable subject, I kinda avoided evolution, but I did know one of the apologetics the religion used was the missing link argument.

        Seeing the mockery of the moving goalposts kinda hit me like the first guy in https://youtu.be/Esl_wOQDUeE

        We really be doing that?

        One of the scriptures that was a big influence on me at the time was “Always be ready to defend the faith” but this was one of the first bricks that I could no longer defend, and more came after.
