Growing up in a town that was well over 90% Catholic I became used to just tuning it out when I realized I simply didn't believe any of it, not that easy to do when you in a Catholic school. Living in the south for the last few decades also means I have surrounded by religious people and comments. I tend not to engage though it's hard not to eyeroll too obviously at some things. I am quiet when they feel the need to pray...I don't feel the need most of the time to declare I am an atheist because I just don't want the inevitable questions and possible preaching. Often I simply say that I am not religious and try to move things on to another topic.
I'm your huckleberry.
