Do you continue to cultivate close relationships with fundamentalist Christians (other than family) from your days in those circles? If so, what do you feel you get out of those relationships, and conversely what do you feel they are “in it” for?
My own story is quite similar to yours (homeschooled ultra-fundamentalist Christian in SW Montana... now a dirty atheist east coaster) and this is a dynamic that has never been comfortable to navigate. So many kind and cherished people, but with few exceptions they seem to prefer to pretend as if nothing has changed.
