The Atheist Movement.

[Czechlervitz30]

I think it is important that atheists unite against religious folk because the religious people unite with their groups and attack the lone atheist. Safety in numbers.

I never felt that way. Maybe because I don't live in the USA - so I wouldn't really know how things look there. I also never felt attacked by any religious folks. Where I live, religion or it's absence is private. Nobody asks and nobody really speaks about it. I never had to do the talk, and never felt the need to rally behind someone because of my lifestyle being threatened.

And to stress that point again, my life doesn't revolve around atheism. It's just the tiny kernel of not believing, not what makes me as a person.

Consider yourself lucky. I was forced to go to church the entire time I was under my parents' roof and even as an adult there are people still trying to get me to go back. You are lucky. It is almost dangerous to be atheist here in rural america.
