imderanged I feel very pressured in certain situations not to admit I am an Atheist. I think there is some real bias against Atheists. At school there was this woman who just needed a little help finding a book in the library, so I helped her. She randomly asked me where I went to church. It was kind of a strange thing to ask, but it seemed to me that she assumed that since I was being kind I MUST have been Christian?! So I told her I was a Secular Humanist. That wasn't enough and she pushed the matter further, so I told her "I don't go to church, I'm an Atheist" and she gave me a dirty look and couldn't get away from me fast enough. At work there is actually a lot of negativity toward anyone who isn't CHRISTIAN AND REPUBLICAN (not just Atheists, just Jews, and Liberals are hated) And it's very out in the open. I actually fear that if I told the wrong person at work that I was an Atheist, it could cost me my job. I might be too sensitive and it wouldn't really go that far, but I know for sure things would be very frosty around the workplace. My mother-in-law is a BornAgain Christian, and I have never told her that i am an Atheist. the fall out would be HUGE.
As long as your workplace follows the law, you could sue them for wrongful termination, I should think.
At any rate, the thing that bothers me possibly even more than the general discrimination is the assumption that all Atheists are "Nazis" who will think that everyone else is stupid if they believe in something. A lot of us are very tolerant, right?
I want the bumper sticker that says, "I don't need the threat of Hell to be a moral person."
