Did you read my IRL post? I don't care on a person to person level, but that changes when I'm expected to behave christian because everybody around me is christian or get the shaming/shunning treatment. I think the only place you have to put up with walking in my shoes is here.
I'm sorry people have shamed you for being atheist. A good way to respond is to not do the same thing and shame others for being things you're not.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
