You are not alone my friend, I am also new to this religion. I am a fromer UU Christian turned Deist, who eventually gave up all the "God" nonesense and became an atheist. I stumbled upon this site quite by accident, and ended up finding a religion that I could agree with! It was great, welcome to the boards.
My story is actually pretty similar to Ration's. I found this site in the links section on the First Church of Satans website. I went there because I was curious about Satanism, so don't get suspicious.
