When changing something as dramatic as one’s worldview, one will likely find that there are many things that remain unchanged “by default,” which is to say, some things just tag along as baggage from one’s old ways of thinking. Having myself come from a staunch Christian upbringing, I understand how these things can happen. I wanted to share a few of the “gotchas” that I encountered along the way.
“Ignorant” isn’t quite the insult that our society considers it to be. Ignorance isn’t stupidity; it’s a lack of knowledge about a given subject.

Being ignorant isn’t a bad thing; it’s completely normal — and totally unavoidable.
