Hey everybody! (I'm new.)
Here in Utah, almost everybody is Mormon. People will actually assume you're Mormon from the moment they meet you without getting to know you first.
Anyway, so before our opening performance in the school musical, everybody was going to have a prayer. I did what I always do in such situations.
Mormons fold their arms, but I'm a baptized Catholic, so i always learned to clasp my hands. So that's what I do, even though I don't practice Catholicism. Then I'm just quiet and respectful while the others pray to their imaginary friend in the sky.
If I was asked to start a prayer, I would politely tell them that I'm an Atheist. There's nothing wrong with that, and I shouldn't be ashamed of my beliefs. All of the people I've met so far haven't taken it in stride emotionally, but they weren't rude about it and simply asked somebody else to start the prayer.
