Do you have any questions you'd like to ask me? If not, leave blank
It would be helpful if you could share a very brief summary of your personal story, as it relates to your nonbelief.
Here are some prompts to help you think about answering this question but please don't feel like you have to go into too much depth here. We can do that when we speak in person. This is the last field. When you hit submit, you're done!
How would you describe yourself? Have you experienced any significant challenges, or had particularly positive experiences, related to your nonbelief?
What, if any, other identities would be important for me to know about? Did they shift or change as you became nonreligious? How, if at all, does your nonbelief impact your relationships? Are there any in particular I should know about? Where do you feel most connected, and with whom?
If you prefer to record an audio note or voice recording on your phone and send that, that's fine too. Equally, you can email me your answer too, if you need some more time to think about it. Just let me know here that's what you're going to do.
You can email it to: projects@aubreywade.com or use +4917688179192 on Whatsapp / Signal / etc
You can also use this space to add anything you'd like me to know about, which I haven't asked about it.
Thank you!
