(For how i crafted these quotes, see What i changed in survey-takers' responses and What i didn't change.)
I have a "complicated relationship with religion. I found comfort in religion as a kid, and now I am often not accepted in religious communities, but I'm still not willing to give up that identity completely."
"growing up religious made me feel disgusting for being queer."
"I think it's important for people to recognize that if someone is queer and not religious it doesn't mean they worship the devil or hate god, they just don't want to associate with people who don't believe their existence is valid or believe in something else."
"I am of no religion and sometimes i feel as though if I were to say I wasn't of religion then I would get told many things like 'this is why people like you shouldn’t exist 'why you people should unalive' etc. it hurts knowing this is a possibility and I think people should be more understanding. I value and look up to adults who are willing to help fight for people's rights, beliefs, and other such matters for peoples who can't be heard (minors)."
"I am not going to hell. Shut."
