I think that most people in the U.S. would be just fine hearing that I don't practice a religion, don't go to chruch, and in fact do not believe in god. However, if I use the word "atheist" to describe myself, it causes a negative reaction. I think that when I apply the label of atheist to myself, it causes a theist to feel threatened, because I am basically saying that I am rejecting religion, and deep down they themselves know that there is no God.

The hatred and bigotry I am convinced comes from ignorance and fear.
