I dont flaunt my atheism in normal life.
It normally doesnt come up, I dont go to church less than most people around here because next to no-one actually goes to church here.
We sometimes get street preachers and the occasional jehovahs witness, (we used to get mormons but they seem to have given up).
The only time I have been directly confronted by faith is by visiting americans.
A really nice canadian girl quizzed me asking what church I went too.
One chap I'd never met before came towards a friend of mine hand outstretched and asked 'are you sharp for the lord'? the first thing he said, whats with that!
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
