Yay Utah!
I always assumed you lived in Utah. I was right....mostly from the type of rock in your profile picture.

Most of the people who come to atheist sites like these I have noticed come from North America....I remember reading one European on possibly a Facebook atheist page being upset there were so few Europeans who were members.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Hmm maybe I'm crazy. It just seems that there are more active member who are not American than there are who are American.

Being an atheist isn't all that relevant in a lot of europe.

That's my town 
Matera, Basilicata, Italy
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Maybe that's why people respect atheists in Europe more....they don't try and elevate their lack of belief into something it's not.

I'm pretty sure there are stronger atheists in Europe by the way.

Why does this make me want to jump from rooftop to rooftop, do a backflip onto unsuspecting shopkeepers, and stab a stiletto through their kidneys?

Another view of the old town, with parts of the "Gravina" (kind of like a canyon) below...
...and the "Gravina" itself:
And here's a scene of Mel Gibson's The Passion getting filmed here... *sigh*

They are and they actually manage to read the Bible instead of just pretending to do so like American atheists do.
