Should I really care what the uneducated, ill-mannered, and ignorant majority thinks about me? No, because I don't see any of them doing anything productive to contribute to society in the least bit, let alone their own family. When you're being hated upon by the ignorant majority, you know you're doing right. What sets them off is that you don't live by THEIR rules, if you were to do everything the little shitheads told you it would be tyranny and the world would sink into inadvertence. People shouldn't feel neglected by what extremists and the majority say, because last time I recall that Iran is a theocracy and god isn't doing a damn thing to help the innocent, let alone doing anything to provide merit for his existence. Ignorance needs provocation, and some people are addicted to perverseness and will do anything to try to get it, when you get affected by it is when they get what they want. The best measure to counteract their ignorance is to not let it affect you, instead it goes vise verse for them.

Fuck the majority, hail the minority!

This is a lovely post except for the fact that it lacks musical accompaniment. Here, let me fix this:

He dances like Rick Astley!

Hey! In the 1980's if you could dance like that you were cool!

After being born and raised in a country where being an atheist is ok, what I've gathered from the US by living there a few years (step dad was american, so is my half-bro) is that society wants you to say you believe in God. No one says you really have to inside. It just that you are imposed a religious label of a sort to fit in. Answering "oh I'm an atheist!" may upset that agnostic in front of you who tried all of her life to hide it. They must hate the carefree way we have of saying it loud and clear. I don't think that so many people are actually that religious, it's mostly conformism and social rigidity... or am I that naive?

It depends on what part of the U.S. you live in. Down here in the b-eye-bull belt you're Jeeesus must run deep.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
