Atheists: In godlessness we trust

CBS News/April 19, 2015, 9:08 AM

A Sunday morning in church is not in the cards for those who say they're "beyond belief" -- beyond belief in the God of Scripture, anyway. And for some, the abandonment of their faith wasn't easy. Our Cover Story now from Mo Rocca:

Visit Jackson, Mississippi, and you can't miss the First Baptist Church. To Neil Carter, it was like a second home.

"This is where I grew up," he told Rocca. "My parents were married here. My sisters were both married here. I got baptized here, twice actually."

At the age of 15, Carter says he was "saved" by a youth evangelist.

Brainwashing from birth is hard to overcome. I've been there. Now I'm free. I reach out to others who had their rligion chosen for them, and wish them strength in their struggle to be free. It's worth it.
