RE: How do you tell people you are an atheist

i'm relating this to your question because the overall feeling of being uncomfortable or not knowing how to address these questions is probably similar:
i have a lot of christian representations of satan tattooed on my chest and hands. it's a juvenile way of rejecting that religion, i realize this. i still dig it, though. as you can imagine, i run in to a lot of questions regarding the tattoos from the general public. it's particularly bad lately because i took a seasonal job in the MALL for some extra cash.
for the longest time, when asked about about any of the tattoos, i would tell them that i wasn't interested in discussing them. that's the easiest way out. if you say that you simply don't want to discuss it, they'll back off unless they're annoying people.
lately, however, i've been pretty blunt about what they are and don't even go in to why i have them. work's been too busy to try to save my reputation, you know? screw 'em.
i don't think that there's an easy way to tell a stranger or someone you know in a professional setting that you're not part of the majority. you can either stick by your guns and deal with the anxiety of the situation or you can tell them you're not interested in talking about your atheism. if you find another way, let me know
could i get a drink and an ashtray?
