This is a short video (less than 8 minutes) about Jerry DeWitt, a former Pentecostal preacher who is now an atheist and has started a secular group in the Bible Belt. I think we can relate to much of this video. In addition to the title of this thread, here are a couple more of his quotes:
"People do not choose to be atheist. They realize they are."
"We don't possess any divine help, but the good news is we don't need it. You don't need it. You already possess the power of relationships."
