To my fellow black girls who are atheists and agnostics, I have a question for you

Hello ladies,

Sometime ago, a fellow sister posted here asking if there are any black women who are atheists/agnostics; which to my surprise they were quite a few of you who identified as atheists/agnostics.

So, it really got me thinking and my question to all of you is how do you cope with the challenges of living as a black lady?

Especially with discrimination, dating life, health challenges (which includes reproductive and hypertension etc) and other issues that feel like it’s just stacked against us.

Because truthfully, if it hadn’t been for God, I would really be suffering. I mean, with discrimination, I just ask Him to help me and He either deals with the person who is discriminating against me or place me somewhere better. With dating life, when I was looking for a spouse, He placed me at a place where I would get connected to a good man. When I was looking for a specialized doctor for an health issue, no one would accept as a patient. Months after months, my doctor will send referrals and not even one specialist will receive me. But after praying and asking God, He gave me one right in my city.

So, in short, I personally find life to be hard and that’s with believing in a God. I understand for some perhaps they feel abandoned by God or the people in their lives haven’t shown any good character to match their beliefs.

But I am genuinely curious, how do you ladies do it?
