Finally feel comfortable with calling myself an atheist

I think I tried to avoid it for so long because I wanted to avoid misconceptions about atheism (being a hardline materialist, claiming to know that there is no god, hating religion, worshipping science). I also felt like not believing in the supernatural would bar me from being able to enjoy ritual and mindfulness. (For instance, I feel like witchcraft is cool as hell despite not believing that anything supernatural is actually occurring.) It took me a while to realize that I was still viewing atheism through an evangelical lens. I’m happy to say now that I’ve let go of that thought. Or I am at least in the process of letting it go.
