My husband and I were both still practicing Catholics when we met, even went to church together. Then he stopped going but I still did.

We moved to a different state and both started working from home. I stopped going to church because it was a small rural Midwest town and I stuck out too much (am brown).

Working from home meant a lot of computer time and YouTube rabbit holes. Between Sam Harris and Dan Barker, I found myself no longer believing.

My husband also ended up an atheist on his own, though we never discussed any of it with each other. I don't even think he watched any of the same videos. Just one day I guess we talked about it and discovered we were both no longer Catholic.

Congrats to you both!
